Monday, May 5, 2025
 

The nursing industry has grown and changed in many ways, especially in the past five years.

Heavy workloads, burnout, and workplace violence challenges persist, and nurses are departing from the industry, leaving staffing gaps and shortages behind. Despite these challenges, innovation in nursing has taken off, with AI and virtual nursing at the forefront of many CNOs' strategies.

This week is National Nurses Week, meant to celebrate the essential contributions that nurses make in communities worldwide. HealthLeaders is participating in the celebration with a week full of events, beginning with the next webinar in our The Winning Edge series.

In this week’s lead story, let’s take a look what's to come for Nurses Week.
