Nursing Research is Coronavirus Research
“The major objectives of this study are to evaluate the nurse working conditions in hospitals just before the COVID-19 pandemics, including evaluations of nurse burnout and intent to leave. We will determine the relationship between nurse working conditions and job outcomes, and evaluate whether those relationships differ for minority-serving institutions . The study will leverage our strategic partnership with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to survey nurses in 6 states (CA, FL, IL, NJ, NY, PA) after the peak of the US epidemic to evaluate how nurse job outcomes changed before and after the peak, if nurse working conditions explain and/or mitigate those changes.”
