Examining Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Nurse Burnout, Intent to Leave, and Student Debt Burden: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study's findings attest to racial and ethnic disparities regarding nurse burnout, intent to leave the profession, and student debt burden. They raise concerns about the long-term retention of Asian and Hispanic nurses and about barriers to entering the profession among Black and African American nurses. Failure to effectively address racial and ethnic disparities in the workplace jeopardizes workforce diversity. It's our hope that the study findings will spark a larger conversation about how the experiences of nurses of color differ from those of their White counterparts and how disparities can be effectively redressed.
