Thanks. Yeah, everything you've mentioned are all contributing factors to burnout and the current shortage we're currently experiencing. The worst part that many don't know is as we were coming out of last year's covid restrictions and easing back on things like visitor policy, hospitals were cutting resources like mad claiming they lost so much money last year from loss of elective surgeries. Staff were worked like dogs last year, and now we're being worked even harder to make up their profit margins, so more people are leaving, and current renewed covid restrictions are only making resources shorter and work harder.

My hospital recently instituted a bonus pay policy for working extra, it was really good, and they STILL didn't have enough takers so they upped the bonus even further! And STILL not enough takers! If that's not a sign I don't know what is. I think we're in for a rough winter, staffing-wise, and am personally looking at my own options elsewhere.
