9: It's Nurses Week. Why this year must be different

Radio Advisory

As we approach Nurses Week, the nursing workforce is increasingly finding themselves in one of two scenarios. Nurses on the frontlines of surge markets are facing trauma, physical and emotional stress, while others are being furloughed and are uncertain about their future. As Nurses Week celebrations begin, leaders are urged to move beyond traditional celebration rituals with short term impact to an expanded definition of what meaningful recognition is all about; a commitment to longer term strategies that address workforce recovery and safety needs.
