SUMMARY - Nursing Workforce

A hospital ward operates with half its nursing positions unfilled, the remaining nurses stretched beyond safety, the overtime mandatory, the breaks skipped. This has become normal. A nursing student considers her future, aware that the profession she's entering is in crisis but hoping her passion will sustain her. An experienced nurse takes a travel nursing contract, the higher pay and flexibility worth the sacrifice of permanent position. A nurse leaves the profession entirely, her burnout complete, her skills now applied in a corporate wellness job.
