Nurses Report Being Traumatized by Patient Care, April 15, 2022:"Three years into the pandemic, moral distress, staffing problems, and workplace violence continue to plague nurses across the country, according to results of the latest survey in a series conducted by National Nurses United (NNU).

"Nurses are experiencing alarming levels of moral distress and moral injury due to the unsafe working conditions," NNU President Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, RN, said in a press release.

Among the 2,575 nurses surveyed, 69% said staffing problems were "slightly or much worse" in recent months -- a 47.8% jump from a year ago, and a 20.2% increase over the union's September 2021 survey."
