KEY TAKEAWAYS
One of the most urgent challenges is the disruption in the supply chain for IV solutions, which was impacted by the recent hurricanes.
Another concern is racism and discrimination in nursing, specifically because of legislative impacts on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
CNOs must also address the growing divide in nursing between staff and leadership, and the general unease surrounding AI in healthcare.
