Nurses all over the country quit in record numbers during the pandemic, according to a survey by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
“What we found is that our nurses are significantly stressed and burned out,” said Mary Anne Alexander, chief officer of nursing regulation for NCSBN. “[About] 100,000 nurses have left the workforce since COVID.”“When we don't have enough nurses to care for the number of patients that we have, not only is that really hard on the nurses, in terms of trauma, burnout, and poor morale, but it's also a danger to the community,” said Kellas.
“We have had nurses leave and transition to non-hospital positions, working remotely perhaps for insurance companies, or working in doctor's offices where the patient load isn't so heavy,’ said Kellas.“Employers can read our report and find out what is really going on and they should talk to their nurses and find out what's really going on in their own institution,” said Alexander.
