NEW ORLEANS, La. –
America’s nurses are facing unprecedented stress levels, leading to a significant exodus from the industry. According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, by 2027, nearly 20% of registered nurses will leave their profession for good. This nursing shortage has been a long-standing issue, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the problem.
Tracey Moffatt, the Chief Nursing Officer at Ochsner Health in New Orleans, acknowledges the severity of the situation. Even among nurses who are currently employed, many are actively seeking opportunities outside of the traditional hospital setting.
“There are now countless options available for nurses to work away from the bedside,” she explains. “The emergence of virtual nursing positions, remote case management opportunities, and increased hiring by insurance companies have created a whole new landscape.”
