What Are Some Challenges in Managing Nurse Staffing?
Several challenges can affect nurse staffing, including:
1. Nursing Shortages: A shortage of qualified nurses can lead to inadequate staffing levels, affecting patient care and hospital capacity. 2. Burnout: High levels of stress and burnout among nurses can result in increased absenteeism and turnover, further exacerbating staffing issues. 3. Budget Constraints: Limited financial resources can restrict the hiring of additional nursing staff, impacting the hospital's ability to manage patient influx effectively.
