Several challenges impede financial sustainability in nursing:
1. Rising Healthcare Costs: The cost of medical supplies, medications, and advanced technologies continues to rise, straining budgets. 2. Staffing Shortages: Hiring and retaining qualified nurses can be expensive, especially with the current nursing shortage. 3. Regulatory Changes: Frequent changes in healthcare policies and regulations can affect reimbursement rates and operational costs. 4. Patient Demographics: An aging population increases the demand for healthcare services, particularly long-term and specialized care.
