How the U.S. Could Fix Its Nursing Crisis
Nurses in the United States are experiencing burnout at unprecedented rates. More than two years into the pandemic, they are still processing the trauma of what they witnessed in the early days. Staffing shortages, meanwhile, are creating unmanageable workloads.
On the latest episode of The Dose podcast, host Shanoor Seervai interviews Rebecca Love, a nurse and president of SONSIEL, the Society of Nurse Scientists, Innovators, Entrepreneurs, and Leaders, a nonprofit dedicated to creating new opportunities for nurses in health care innovation.
Love talks about what it would take to fix the nursing crisis, from changes in nursing reimbursement to new ways of training and empowering nurses to provide the best possible patient care.
