About 100,000 registered nurses in the US left the workplace due to the stresses of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the results of a survey published by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
Another 610,388 registered nurses, who had more than 10 years of experience and an average age of 57, said they planned to leave the workforce by 2027 because of stress, burnout or retirement. The same was true of 189,000 additional nurses with 10 or fewer years of experience and an average age of 36. The survey found that there were over 5.2 million active registered nurses and 973,788 licensed practical nurses or vocational nurses in the US in 2022.
This exhausted tone was a driving factor behind a strike in New York in January, when over 7,000 nurses took to the streets to call attention to staffing shortages and burnout. “We are sick and tired of the hospital only doing the bare minimum,” said Danny Fuentes, a union official who spoke to the crowd during the strike. “Time and time again, we are forced to take unsafe patient loads. We are humans, and we are burnt-out. And we are tired. And the hospital doesn’t seem to care.

Airstrikes on Myanmar village feared to have killed 100A witness and independent media say airstrikes by Myanmar’s military have killed as many as 100 people, including many children, who were attending a ceremony held by opponents of army rule. The military is increasingly using airstrikes to counter a widespread armed struggle against its rule, which began when it seized power from an elected government in 2021. More than 3,000 civilians are estimated to have been killed since then by security forces. A witness says a fighter jet dropped bombs directly into a crowd of people who were gathering Tuesday for the opening of a local office of the country’s opposition movement. He says a helicopter appeared about half an hour later and fired at the site, killing more people.
