What are the financial implications of nurse burnout?
Nurse burnout has significant financial implications. Burnout can lead to increased absenteeism, higher turnover rates, and reduced productivity, all of which contribute to elevated operational costs. Moreover, burnout can negatively impact patient care, leading to medical errors, longer hospital stays, and higher readmission rates. Addressing nurse burnout through supportive work environments and wellness programs can mitigate these financial burdens.
