The burden of COVID-19 has been devastating for nurses. The pandemic has highlighted the critical need for nurses and how a lack of support for them impacts patient care, vaccine access and hesitancy, existing workforce shortages, and the ability of the health care system to function.
The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented demand for nurses to provide hospital and other forms of care. The burden has been devastating for nurses, who comprise America’s largest health care workforce. As a result, nurses are leaving the workforce due to burnout, a lack of child care, contracting COVID-19 themselves, or other health concerns, accelerating an already existing nursing shortage in the United States. As nurses continue to provide most of the nation’s care, it is critical to explore strategies to support them, raise their voices as trusted messengers in media and other forums, and strengthen the nursing workforce.
