Workforce development and retention in nursing are critical to maintaining a strong healthcare system. To address ongoing challenges, fostering a supportive work environment and offering professional development opportunities are key strategies. Providing continuous education, mentoring, and career advancement options can enhance job satisfaction and reduce burnout. Additionally, competitive salaries, manageable work schedules, and strong leadership are essential in retaining skilled nurses. Building a culture of respect, recognition, and well-being can significantly improve retention rates, ensuring the long-term strength of the nursing workforce and improving patient care outcomes.
