“Every day I’m asking am I going to continue?” said New York Registered Nurse Marie Pierre “Am I going to leave the field because of so much going on? I’ve been exhausted and I feel like sometimes, sometimes you feel like you want to quit.”
Nurses throughout the nation are saying enough is enough and have concerns for the future of the field.
“It’s not fair for our residents either” said Pierre “they deserve the very best, but how can we give our best if we are working 16 hours and more straight essentially against our will.”
Labor shortages, burn out, and mandated overtime has plagued the medical field for years, but lawmakers are hoping to help.
R&I – Obey
