The work of nurses and health care workers who provide direct care to Medicaid patients has been exhausting as the ongoing pandemic continues and many remain underpaid.

ST. LOUIS — A recent study released by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing says that about 100,000 registered nurses left the workforce during the past two years due to stress, burnout and retirement, and another 610,388 reported an intent to leave by 2027.

The 5 On Your Side I-Team has put together a survey to better understand the impact and scope of these challenges in Missouri and Illinois. Our goal is to highlight the main takeaways revealed through the answers to 17 questions. How does the nursing crisis affect all of us?
