With National Nurses Day around the corner, we really need to take time out to thank a nurse for all of their great efforts. Nurses work very hard and there is a new survey that finds nearly one-third of all nurses in the U.S. are considering quitting their jobs. The study by AMN Healthcare Services Inc. also revealed 30-percent are looking to leave the profession after the pandemic left them overwhelmed and burnt out.
In addition, the survey also found that 69-percent of nurses want more money and 63-percent want safer, less stressful work environments. Because of shortages in the healthcare industry, many nurses are forced to work 12 or more hours during a shift.
Nurses Appreciation Day is May 6.
