We cant control the influx of patients. With patients at inpatient hospitals or other care facilities, their length of stays can vary for a number of reasons. Even with continuous change, nurses continue to have more patients to care for, and almost always understaffed. This results in havingless time to complete patient cares, assessments, medication administration, and unforeseen problems such as falling or coding. With the added patient load, understaffing, and less time to care for our patients, we put our licenses at risk as well as patient safety and care (Glette et al., 2017).It isnt just the issue of understaffing that factors into the issue of patient safety, nurses can also get burned out
