Abstract

As the cracks in our stretched and overburdened healthcare system continue to widen, the downstream pressures on nurses, nurse practitioners (NPs) and other healthcare providers continue to rise. It is stressful and painful for nurses to witness how the weaknesses in our system impact the lives of patients, families and communities. Nurses are there amid the anger, uncertainty, weariness and fear - providing care around the clock.

The picture I am painting is one that is all too familiar - one that we hear about daily.
