Exploring nurse staffing and policy implications in times of crisis: the case of North Lebanon
The protracted economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have a serious effect on the hospitals' abilities to replace the departing nursing staff. A noteworthy finding of this study is the increasing reliance on hiring technically-prepared nurses to fill the gap left by the nurse migration. These factors have serious implications on the quality of care delivered to patients in the study hospitals.
