From burnout to career changes, the nursing profession is at a crossroads. In a letter to the editor, SLC native Miranda Franz suggests how to address the challenges facing the profession and create a supportive environment for nurses. supportnurses
A nurse gives a COVID-19 test outside the Salt Lake County Health Department Friday, July 22, 2022, in Salt Lake City.The headline was jarring, but I was not surprised — 100,000 nurses left the workforce during the pandemic.in mid-April, noted that stress, burnout and retirement are among the top issues. By 2027, nearly 900,000 registered nurses are expected to leave the workforce — roughly a fifth of the current workforce.
It’s not realistic to expect one person to take care of more and more progressively more-ill patients. Our system is eventually going to fall apart and end with more nurses burning out and leaving the field, not to mention diminished care to patients. It’s a cycle that can only be broken by making sure that our nurses are supported so they can give appropriate care back to the community and the patients they serve.
I spent most of my hospital career working on a behavioral health unit, and even back then, we were dealing with a nursing shortage. Mental health is such an important part of health care, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with this population. Nursing is going to continue to see burnout, career changers, and early retirement until we can get the load to match the support. We need to do more to prepare nursing students for what the current healthcare system looks like. I know of many competent nursing schools that focus on best practices for patient care, but it takes more than that. We need to prepare students for all the interpersonal conflicts and stressors that go along with being in the profession.
