Nursing, the "Most Trusted Profession," receives just 1% of health care donations, leaving schools underfunded despite their vital role in patient care.
Amarjot Gill, University at Buffalo nursing PhD student, recently published a study in the Journal of Advanced Nursing with important findings for understanding how older adults experience loneliness in residential care facilities.
The nursing shortage isn’t just a workforce problem – it’s a direct threat to patient care and public health. One major contributing factor is that there aren’t enough preceptors available to train students in clinical settings.
Nursing is the largest group in the health care workforce, yet it receives just 1% of donations to the sector. Despite being vital to health care systems and patient outcomes, nursing schools continue to face a lack of financial support.
