Planning to leave the profession. In my current position as faculty in a university DNP program, I hear from my students about caring for overwhelming numbers of patients and fearing for their patients’ safety and health. The nursing shortage continues, with no end in sight. Working nurses are suffering burnout from caring for so many patients that they know nursing care is being missed.

Nurses are givers, and most will agree that they didn’t join the profession for the high salaries, fancy clothes, sexy shoes, or awesome accessories. Instead, nurses are more likely to say they chose nursing because they wanted to help people. Some will tell stories of caring for a beloved family member and how that inspired them to a life of service as a healthcare professional.

Most nurses blame staffing shortages for poor mental health. Only one-third of nurses surveyed plan to remain in the profession for the foreseeable future and about one-fourth plan to leave in one or two years from now, a new report warns. Insufficient staff to meet demand—the worst part of the profession, they say—creates burnout and overwork, according to more than half of nurses surveyed in a study conducted by Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.
