While the COVID-19 pandemic escalated the strain on the nursing workforce, the issue of thinly stretched and under-resourced staff far pre-dates the pandemic and continues to impact the well-being of patients and practitioners alike.
We hear a lot of industry buzzwords around staff retention, but it’s important to go back to the basics: the driving factor behind why nurses are leaving healthcare comes down to unsafe staffing.
