****
1. 18% of Healthcare Workers have left their job since 2020.
2. 66% of ICU and Acute Care Nurses have considered leaving.
3. ICUs are so short staffed that they have had to run at 4:1 patient to nurse ratios… the normal is 2:1.
4. A Florida hospital spent $24 Million in 2021 on temporary workers to cover for labor shortages… normally they spend $1 Million per year.
5. Nurses average age is 52 and 19% of nurses are over 65 … the nursing workforce is older because younger people do not want the job.
Why?
