A Perfect Storm Is Brewing
Making a difference is what drives a nurse. Empathy, compassion, and kindness are three qualities patients often use to describe the qualities they look for in a nurse.
The COVID crisis has robbed many nurses and caregivers of those qualities and replaced them with fear and anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion. Many have been repeatedly traumatized by the loss of their patients and other extreme conditions they have been forced to work in and endure.
There's a perfect storm brewing inside healthcare. Ask any nurse. Staffing shortages, heavy workloads, long hours, and changing regulatory requirements, and overwhelming paperwork were just a few of the demands that challenged nurses, added stress and pressure to their job, and lead to job dissatisfaction, compassion fatigue, burnout long before the COVID epidemic. Those conditions have been magnified since the epidemic.
Many nurses today are struggling because they don't feel empathetic, kind, and compassionate but rather mentally and physically exhausted, overworked, and overwhelmed, disconnected from their patients, their loved ones, and especially from themselves.
Nearly 1 in 5 healthcare workers have quit their jobs since the COVID epidemic began. Most were nurses.
