For the past several years, the workforce shortage in healthcare has persisted, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nurses in particular have felt the impact of the shortage, and CNOs have been working around the clock to recruit and retain the best talent possible to bridge the gaps.

However, the numbers seem to be shifting, depending on the profession.

In this week's lead story, learn about a new report that shows both shortages and surpluses in nursing by 2028.
