Lack of nurses in nursing

A problem that I see is lack of nurses in nursing. So many nurses are leaving their jobs to do travel nursing or completely leaving the field all together. This can be due to several different factors. Many of the factors include lack of patient safety and lack of pay. This is a problem because there are often to many new nurses or travel nurses on a unit. There is also a large shortage of nurses, creating unsafe patient ratios.

“Nursing shortages lead to errors, higher morbidity, and mortality rates” (Haddad, et al., 2022). This can be an environment that is not safe due to lack of experience and constant adjustment of nurses.

This can also make it so nurses are unable to give safe patient care. Addressing this issue through nursing research can make it so that the issue is recognized. It can create empowerment for nurses through organizations and help work facilities to act to have better nurse ratios.
