Nurses in the Workforce

According to the American Nurses Association, nurses represent the largest population of healthcare workers in the country. But even before the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a nursing shortage. The ANA’s article discusses reasons for this shortage, such as retirements outpacing new nurses in the field and inadequate workforce support. It also discusses the predicted future increases in both position openings and retirements. As one of the largest and most influential associations of nurses in the country, the ANA’s mission is to monitor, analyze, and act on federal legislation which affects the nursing workforce. You can read more about how this group is advocating for nurses across the country by reading their article linked below.
