The 2026 Nurse.com report found that 53% of nurses experienced burnout in the previous two years, while NCSBN reported frequent burnout among 35.4% of RNs in its 2024 national study. A global [...]

Last Tuesday, a nurse on a medical-surgical unit had five patients instead of her usual four. Nothing on the staffing grid flagged a problem, the number was within range. But one of those five patients was: a fresh post-op another was a fall risk who needed hourly checks and a third had a family member [...]

Nearly 85% of Swedish healthcare employers report a current shortage of newly graduated registered nurses, and the country is projected to need roughly 33,000 more nurses by 2031. But the more urgent, more current story sits inside that headline number: more than 40% of nurses under 29 say it's unlikely they'll remain in healthcare for [...]
