Nursing shortages are going to get worse

Did you know that the U.S. is facing a nursing shortage? There are currently about 500,000 registered nurses in the workforce and yet there are only enough to fill 43% of the current demand for nurses at hospitals across America! This means that hundreds of thousands of people will be left without care when they need it most if this trend continues unchecked.

A recent study found that nearly 80% of all RNs intend to leave their jobs within the next decade because they feel burned out or do not have enough time to take care of themselves and their families while still meeting job demands. What can we do to fix this problem?

The nursing shortage problem is a growing crisis that must be addressed by the industry in order to ensure quality patient care. The problems with nurse burnout are likely related to high stress, low pay and insufficient time off. Is there anything you can do? What's your next move?
