The healthcare community is no stranger to work-related stress, anxiety, and
exhaustion. Nurses in particular have been some of the hardest hit over the
last several years, with the onset of COVID-19 accelerating and exasperating
burnout within the workforce. Providers are also facing several challenges
around supporting and retaining nursing staff while struggling to manage
rising resource costs and limited budgets. Beyond pandemic fatigue, there
are several other factors contributing to nurse burnout:
A large number of nurses are reaching retirement
There is a shortage in nursing school faculty,
leading to decreased enrollment
≈92,000
Nursing school applications turned away
in 2021 due to inadequate numbers of faculty, clinical
