A?new survey by the American Nurses Foundation?has revealed a troubling reality:?Nurses across the U.S. feel unsupported by their employers, especially in critical areas like?burnout and workplace violence. With over?12,500 nurses surveyed, the message is clear—change is urgently needed. Key Findings: Burnout Crisis: Nurses rated employer support?2.8/5?and responsiveness to complaints?2.6/5. 1 in 3 nurses with less than 10 years' experience?report poor emotional health. Younger nurses and those in?acute care settings?feel the least supported. ?Workplace Violence on the Rise: 53% of nurses report increased verbal abuse?at work. 43% say their workplace lacks a clear reporting system?for incidents. The Disconnect:?While?65% of nurse leaders?feel prepared for another pandemic or viral surge,?only 30% of bedside nurses?agree.?Who’s being heard? ?Nurses are the backbone of healthcare, yet many feel overworked, unsafe, and unheard. If we don’t act now, more nurses will leave the profession putting patient care and our entire healthcare system at risk.
