Healthcare Upside/Down: What Would Florence Think with Maria Suarez and Ralph Egues
S1E13: What Would Florence Think with Maria Suarez, President and Ralph Eques, Executive Director from the Nursing Consortium of South Florida and host Dr. Nick. Increasing demands, an aging population that not only seeks and needs more care but also includes many of the very nurses we need. The pandemic added further stressors to an already strained system pushing many towards breaking point and creating some uncomfortable economic drivers around the country. The staff remaining skew towards a younger set with less experience adding to the stress and burnout. Solutions to nursing shortages come in all shapes and sizes. This week your better pill to swallow is to return nursing to the calling that it has always been and still is. Create flexible programs and working environments that support the improved work life balance that will attract and retain the nurses of the future.
