Nurses are the true heroes who risk everything to be on the front lines of patient care. They bring not only care but also hope to patients in need. And today, they’re challenged like never before with unprecedented demands on their time, skills, and safety.
Our independent survey took place well before the advent of the global Covid-19 pandemic. Still, it came at a time that we had the opportunity to both celebrate nurses’ contributions and recognize them. The results yield insights based on the views of a group of next-generation nurses (in practice less than 10 years) who are tuned in to today’s rapidly changing healthcare system.
The research also examines how next-generation nurses differ from their experienced counterparts (those practicing 10 years or more) in attitudes, beliefs, and priorities for the future. The findings serve as a wake-up call for industry as we navigate the rapidly transitioning nurse workforce.
