Too Scarce To Sacrifice: Sparing Our Nurses From Burnout
An unbalanced nurse market is not the only troubling issue in healthcare. However, few other healthcare concerns can be addressed until we first solve this problematic crisis.
Nations now compete in a global market for a diminishing number of nurses, thereby stretching thin the supply in countries most in need of more. The yearly burnout of tens of thousands from this limited pool of nurses affects everyone everywhere. With fewer and fewer nurses available to serve us, each surviving nurse becomes a highly qualified person who is simply too scarce to sacrifice anymore.
Nurses provide what all patients, regardless of diagnosis, require most … care. In the self interest of our own care, how can we not attend to their most urgent needs, especially the ones that carry over to us?
This book outlines those needs in terms of shared economic affects on all stakeholders of healthcare because whether we are a patient, provider or administrator of healthcare, we are affected as stakeholders and share a common vested interest in resolving these problems by applying the sound economic principles outlined in this book.
