According to the 2023 State of Nursing report, 79% of nurses say their units are inadequately staffed. Many reasons were associated with this phenomenon. Some of the reasons stated in a Nurse.org survey include:

  • Decreased satisfaction and burnout
  • Inadequate staffing ratios
  • Not receiving equal pay for equal experience
  • Not having adequate backup
  • An inability to take breaks, sick days, or even turn down extra shifts
