CHICAGO , April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) unveiled its research, titled "Examining the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Burnout & Stress Among U.S. Nurses," in a panel titled "Nursing at the Crossroads: A Call to Action" in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club at 9:30 a.m. EST.

  • The research also examined the personal and professional characteristics of nurses experiencing heightened workplace burnout and stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The research was gathered as part of a biennial nursing workforce study conducted by NCSBN and the National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers.
  • Coupled with large declines among nursing support staff, NCSBN calls for significant action to foster a more resilient and safe U.S. nursing workforce moving forward.
