Most Pressing Issues in Nursing Today

Published

Was listening to a podcast that said "Within your area of expertise, find a problem and begin to solve it. When you begin doing that, you will begin to find happiness and purpose."

In Post Modern America, what is the most pressing issue we face as nurses? After deciding on an issue, can you come up with a solution or at least a foundation to begin tackling the issue? Excited to hear your responses!

Scanned the list, didn't see my issue (the first two pages or so was a pissing contest) The biggest issue I have ever had is lack of support and supplies, and it's never really stopped in 27 years. Linens, Meds/pharmacy, v/s equipment, monitors, wires sets, bedside commodes, overbed tables to name a few. Tried to look this up in school a bit, there are standards for everything we do as nurse, but I could find none for what the facility is supposed to supply us with. This and always has been my big compliant.
