Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has created intense pressure on our society and the economy in many ways. Many industries were severely impacted, especially the healthcare industry. In this study, we conducted a qualitative phenomenological study to learn about the nurses' perception of their compensation during the pandemic. Since nurses are the critical front-line workers during the pandemic, it is vital to ensure their well-being in many aspects. Our study can help to improve the quality of the healthcare system at the same time, lower the turnover. During COVID-19, the nurses have been facing intense pressure on their mental health at work. Moreover, they believe that there should be more incentive in terms of financial and recognition for their work and receive more care from upper management.
