A study in early 2023 by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing found around 100,000 nurses nationwide have left the profession since the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 600,000 are expected to leave or retire by the end of the decade. That shortage leaves the ones still working in nursing to pick up the slack and increase their patient numbers.
"What this legislation does for us today, it ensures we have nurses coming in the rank who are professionally trained and have the resources to come in and do their jobs," said Rep. Rogers. "Having those legally enforced standards will allow more nurses to feel comfortable to come back to the bedside. They're not overburdened. They're not stressed. They're not crying leaving their shift or before coming in,” said Catharyne Henderson, a registered nurse for the James Cancer Hospital.
"We need nurses. We need people that know what bedside nursing is. It's not just because we're an RN, we go in and pass medicine. It has nothing to do with that,” Tucker said.
