Stunning stat: Nearly 1 in 3 nurses in America say they'll likely leave nursing for another career due to pandemic-induced burnout, a survey by AMN Healthcare (formerly American Mobile Nurses) found. 💡 Why it matters: Understaffing at hospitals leads to more errors in care and even more burnout among overworked nurses, the National Institutes of Health notes. Case in point: The share of nurses who say they're satisfied with the quality of care they provide dropped from 75% in 2021 to 64% in 2023, the survey found. 🔭 The big picture: The pandemic created labor shortages throughout the health care industry. Employment levels in some sectors — including ambulatory care — have rebounded. But the nursing shortage persists. The shortage could balloon to as many as 450,000 nurses, McKinsey estimated last year. The crisis is most severe in California, which is projected to be short around 45,000 nurses by 2030, recruiting site Zippia notes.

Just under half say they have little to no trust in the media's ability to report the news fairly and accurately. Why it matters: The breakdown in trust could prompt many to reject the mainstream news media and turn to social media and unreliable websites, where misinformation can proliferate and partisan echo chambers can thrive, AP notes. Between the lines: 40% of respondents say the media is doing more to hurt democracy than protect it. But Americans are worried about the safety of journalists: Roughly a third say they're very concerned or extremely concerned about attacks on the press.
