Main Post: be sure to explain how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples. 
Reminder: Do post only in the week the discussion is due, post the main posting with three sources (from the course and outside sources)
use-specific Module 2 Learning resources and outside sources.
Two sources both cited and referenced in each peer response.
You need to both cite and reference a source for that source to qualify as a source to support your ideas. 
Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.
For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?
