Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Accessibility is one of three major considerations when choosing a nursing program.
Cost is one of the three major considerations when choosing a nursing program.
Quality is one of the three major considerations when choosing a nursing program.
Location may be important to students either wishing or not wishing to relocate, but it is not generally one of the major considerations in choosing a program.
Nearly all baccalaureate programs are designed to be 4 years in length, assuming a full-time load.

Answer to Question 2

C
Wage increases can improve the nursing shortage by both short- and long-term methods. In the short term, nurses reenter the job market, work more hours, or add part-time nursing jobs. In the long term, the improved wages influence individuals in deciding to enter nursing school and join the profession.
An improvement of vacancy rates would show that the increased wages and benefits have had a short-term effect on the nursing shortage in that state.
Hospitals often use agency personnel to cope with nursing shortages, but this is a short-term solution.
Working a second nursing job would help alleviate the nursing shortage, but this is considered a short-term mechanism.
