NYC nurses were understaffed and burned out before the pandemic, which contributed to overcrowding and worse patient care
In the months leading up to New York City's coronavirus outbreak, about 72% of nurses said their work had been frequently interrupted or delayed due to insufficient staff.New research from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine finds that New York City nurses were understaffed and burned out in the months leading up to the city's COVID-19 outbreak.
Between December 2019 and February 2020, 76% of New York City nurses said they would "not definitely recommend" the hospital they worked at, and 71.8% said their work had been frequently interrupted or delayed due to insufficient staff. The study suggests the coronavirus pandemic did not create, but exacerbated existing hospital staffing problems at New York City hospitals.
The UPenn researchers surveyed 877 registered nurses holding active licenses in New York City. The researchers studied 254 hospitals throughout New York state and Illinois, including 47 hospitals in the New York City metro area.
