As recently as 2024, the CFNU reported that this was a primary reason 40% of members were considering leaving their job or profession.

Key objectives included meeting with various nursing and health care stakeholders, visiting frontline nurses to understand the impact of staffing ratios, examining different staffing frameworks, and gathering insights to inform discussions at the CFNU’s NPR Summit in fall 2024.
