NC's Nursing Shortage & COVID Surge are Fueling Burnout
A new survey of members of the North Carolina Nurses Association is highlighting the fatigue of an overwhelmed nursing workforce on the front lines of the state’s COVID-19 battle. Some of the most telling results include:
• 77% of respondents say their facility is already experiencing a shortage of RN staff
• 13% of respondents say they are so burnt out they are ready to leave the profession
• 89% of respondents say they have been vaccinated

Message from our President & President-Elect
As the coronavirus pandemic once again ramps up and fills North Carolina's hospitals and ICUs, NCNA President Dennis Taylor and NCNA President-elect Meka Douthit EL want nurses to know we share your frustrations, we appreciate your sacrifices, and we stand with you.
