Several barriers can hinder nurse engagement, including:
1. Workload: High patient-to-nurse ratios can lead to burnout and reduced job satisfaction. 2. Lack of Resources: Inadequate staffing and insufficient supplies can make it difficult for nurses to perform their duties effectively. 3. Poor Leadership: Lack of support and recognition from management can demotivate nurses. 4. Limited Career Advancement: Without opportunities for _professional growth_, nurses may feel stagnant in their roles.
