“The nursing shortage has decreased time with patients and quality of patient care, according to a recent survey of nurses conducted by a mobile device application vendor.
The 217 nurses across the country who responded to the survey said the shortage has also increased their responsibility, patient load and number of work hours.
“Nurses are on the frontline of patient care and are continually asked to do more with the nursing shortage,” said Michelle Snyder, senior vice president of subscriber business for Epocrates, which sponsored the survey.”
