Abstract/Description
The evidence-based practice project focused on implementing mandatory breaks that are beneficial for nurses to prevent work fatigue. Research has shown many nurses leaving their jobs within the past five years. This alarming fact demonstrates our need to make pertinent changes to maintain competent nurse employment and promote nurse health and longevity in their career. This presentation discusses how COVID-19, travel nursing, burnout, generational differences, and education are all factors for needing mandatory nurse breaks.
