Everyday hundreds of thousands of nurses in acute care settings across the United States go entire 12+ hour shifts without any food, water, or bathroom breaks in an attempt to provide excellent and safe care to their patients. Unfortunately, even with these extraordinary measure taken by our nurses, many work environments have become unsafe. Numerous studies have shown that less patients per nurse drastically reduces medical errors, falls, infections etc. Additionally, the physical burden that has fallen on nurses has increased the risk for burnout and turnover, leading to an even greater nursing shortage.
