What Role Do Policy and Legislation Play in Addressing Nurse Availability?
Policy and legislation can play a critical role in addressing nurse availability issues. Governments and regulatory bodies can implement policies that support education and training for nurses, such as funding for nursing programs and scholarships. Additionally, legislation can be enacted to ensure safe staffing ratios, which not only protects nurses but also ensures a higher standard of care for patients. By prioritizing nursing in healthcare policy, stakeholders can help create a more stable and sustainable nursing workforce.
