Despite its importance, nurse staffing faces several challenges:
Nurse Shortages: Many regions face a shortage of qualified nursing professionals, making it difficult to maintain adequate staffing levels. Financial Constraints: Budget limitations can restrict the hiring of additional nursing staff, impacting patient care quality. Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to mandated nurse-to-patient ratios and other regulations can be challenging, especially for understaffed facilities. High Turnover Rates: High turnover rates among nurses due to job dissatisfaction or burnout can exacerbate staffing issues.
