Several factors contribute to the challenges in recruiting nurses:
Aging Workforce: A significant portion of the nursing workforce is approaching retirement age, creating a gap that needs to be filled. Educational Bottlenecks: Limited capacity in nursing schools and a shortage of nursing faculty restrict the number of new graduates entering the field. Work Environment: High-stress environments, long hours, and emotional strain can deter potential candidates. Compensation: Competitive salaries and benefits in other sectors can lure potential nursing candidates away.
