A) You are the manager of your place of employment and are consistently confronting issues with staffing. The nursing staff is beginning to show signs of burnout, and you know something must change to prevent nurse turnover. Hiring additional staff or recruiting travel nurses is not a viable solution at this time. The solution will need to be creative, effective, and evidence-supported.
