Nurses say better use of their skills will better mitigate predicted nursing shortfall

The main professional group for nurses working in primary health care says Australia's health care system is being diminished because the skills and talents of its members aren't being used to their fullest. A new survey of more than 2,000 [[2,052]] primary health care nurses has found one-in-four believe they're under-used and could be doing more to maximise their skills.
