What Are Some Challenges in the Hospital Environment?
Nurses face several challenges in the hospital environment:
1. Staffing Shortages: Insufficient staffing can lead to burnout and compromised patient care. 2. Technological Barriers: While technology can aid in patient care, lack of proper training or outdated systems can be a hindrance. 3. Workplace Violence: Nurses often face verbal and physical abuse from patients and sometimes even from colleagues. 4. Infection Control: Maintaining strict infection control practices is a constant challenge, especially during pandemics.
