Supportive policies are crucial for several reasons:
Retention of Skilled Nurses: Adequate support helps in retaining experienced nurses who might otherwise leave due to stress or dissatisfaction. Enhanced Patient Care: When nurses are supported, they are more likely to provide better care, leading to improved patient outcomes. Reduction in Burnout: Policies that address workload, mental health, and work-life balance can significantly reduce burnout among nurses. Professional Development: Continuous education and training opportunities ensure that nurses remain updated with the latest practices and technologies.
