Healthcare professionals are leaving the field due to critical staffing shortages across all settings and specialties. From inadequate nurse-to-patient ratios to unaddressed toxic workplace behaviors, the factors driving the healthcare exodus require a collaborative solution involving everyone from hospital administrators to family members.
• Understaffing is the #1 reason healthcare workers leave, causing unsafe conditions for patients and burnout for staff
• Compensation misconceptions persist, with many assuming nurses are highly paid when most are not adequately compensated
• Family members and patients sometimes have unrealistic expectations without understanding the multiple simultaneous emergencies staff manage
• Toxic work environments with unaddressed unprofessional behavior drive away talented professionals
• Managers who fail to correct negative behavior contribute significantly to staff turnover
• Improving healthcare requires effort from everyone: administrators, staff, patients, and families working together
• Better communication and understanding would significantly improve healthcare experiences for everyone
