"They don't eat. They don't sleep. They go home. They cry." Nurses are pushed to their limits and the crisis could get worse.

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Nurses are incredibly important in our society and they are chronically underappreciated. And as the COVID-19 pandemic drags on, they are being pushed to their limits and then some. Understaffing, larger and larger workloads, hostility from the very people they are trying to help in some cases. So what does this mean for nursing going forward? How bad could the nursing shortage we have been experiencing get? We wanted to talk about the state of nursing, so we caught up with Dr. Maggie Harkins, Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at Holy Family University.
