  4. After the first occurrence of COVID-19 was recorded in the United States.
  5. The outbreak
  6. was havoc in all areas around the nation, putting healthcare
  7. at the verge of collapse

  9. variety posing additional hurdles.
  10. According to the american organization for nursing leadership,

  13. Nursing shortages, shortages were at an all time high.

  15. nurses have been leaving the hospital workforce
  16. along with other personnel

  19. hospitals
  20. and facilities had to
  21. resource to

  27. Shruti Patel has been a critical care nurse
  28. for 15 years
  29. and a mid level

  32. that MS Patel
  33. has such as nurse leader.

  51. of the concern was.
  52. Here are a few of the questions that we had asked her,
  53. along with the answer she had given us.

  55. how can we secure better staffing for the future?
  56. And she responded with recruiting eager nurses,
  57. providing them adequate training and compensation as well as retaining nurses.
  58. She also mentioned that we should have an organization
  59. that is strictly focused on staffing and retention,
  60. so that in doing so this can help retain nurses and prevent frequent turnover
  61. with all of MS. Patel's
