I couldn't agree more. Working conditions are always our number one concern as working nurses, the frontline nurses. Short-staffing contributes to the working environment and the level of care you can deliver. Working conditions are number one.
Violence in the workplace is something else. It's really had a spike during the pandemic. That's a big contributing factor as well. Nurses don't want to go home at the end of their shift feeling like they haven't done their best and given the highest level of care to their patients, residents and clients.
