eBook: Nursing in Crisis

Burnout among nurses – and, as a result, understaffing – is an issue that existed long before Covid. Pre-pandemic, burnout rates among nurses ranged from 15 to 45 percent, and 1 in 3 nurses were leaving the bedside within their first two years. The resulting lack of continuity among nursing staff has a negative impact on a team’s ability to deliver consistent, high-quality patient care.
 
Amid Covid, unexpected surges paired with the existing national nursing shortage means that hospital units are left understaffed and scrambling to ensure appropriate coverage.
 
Download the findings from Hospital IQ's exclusive survey of more than 200 U.S.-based registered nurses, all staffed in hospitals, for insights into how hospitals and health systems can streamline processes and communication to ease nurse workloads and retain more staff.
