flag Nurse burnout and staffing shortages in Canadian critical care and dialysis units are worsening due to pandemic-related stress, leading to delayed patient care and efforts to improve support and retention.

flag Nurse burnout and staffing shortages in healthcare are escalating, particularly in critical care and dialysis units, driven by prolonged pandemic stress, heavy workloads, and emotional toll. flag Experienced nurses report exhaustion from long shifts, strict infection controls, and reduced family involvement in patient care, leading many to leave the profession. flag This has created gaps filled by less experienced or untrained staff, delaying basic patient care like bathing and bathroom access. flag In response, the Canadian Nurses Foundation and partners are launching mental health support and training programs to retain nurses and improve working conditions.
