Implications for the nursing profession after hospitals substitute non-nurses for nurses to perform all but the most technical tasks One of the implications is the reduced opportunities for trained nurses who are seeking employment opportunities. The non-nurses are paid lower wages compared to trained nurses and registered nurses. This aspect makes organizations to consider the non-nurses more due to their affordability. This instance affects the nursing profession as the non-nurses get in the way for the delivery of the desired quality of care. For instance, nurses are empowered to consider evidencebased practice as a strategy to enhance the quality of care and services[ CITATION Dar14 l 1033 ]. Besides, nurses who have gone through training are equipped to handle various issues ranging from relationships, collaborations, use of theoretical frameworks, and use of modern health-related technologies to deal with the existing problems. The non-nurses are not equipped or prepared to handle such aspects, which lowers the outcome of the nursing profession, which might make the profession's growth to stagnate as patients receive substandard care[ CITATION You17 l 1033 ]
