Nurses are stressed out and burned out – putting your health at risk
This isn't the first time we've experienced nursing shortages, but we used to be able to restock the supply with nursing school graduates. Not this time.

About 15,000 Minnesota nurses recently went on strike over concerns regarding staffing, pay and patient safety. According to the Minnesota Nurses Association, it was the largest ever strike of private-sector nurses in the United States.
Nursing strikes happen from time to time and don’t get much notice. This spring and summer, when nurses in California walked out of hospitals, there was little national attention.
