Several challenges affect the availability of nursing services, including:
Nursing Shortages: Many regions face a shortage of qualified nurses, which can lead to increased workloads for existing staff and reduced availability of care for patients. Rural and Underserved Areas: Rural and underserved communities often struggle to attract and retain nurses, resulting in limited access to healthcare services. Burnout and Job Satisfaction: High levels of stress and burnout among nurses can lead to high turnover rates, further exacerbating the shortage of nursing staff. Aging Population: The growing number of elderly individuals increases the demand for nursing services, putting additional strain on the healthcare system.
