The working environment for nurses continues to strain nurse mental health and their ability to provide the best possible patient care. In fact, ShiftMed’s 2022 State of Nursing Survey of 500 U.S. nurses revealed that 40% of nurses believe the nurse shortage has negatively impacted their mental health and 49% cited concern over patients receiving adequate care as a result.
With burnout symptoms at an all-time high for nurses, it’s time the healthcare industry take action and support healthcare workers before more nurses leave the profession.
At ShiftMed, we know what it’s like to be a nurse. We know what it’s like to care deeply for your patients, but also feel the conflicted need to care for yourself. That’s why we created ShiftMed Cares™, a comprehensive suite of benefits that helps nurses working with ShiftMed take back their lives and love every minute of it.
