RESUMO
The complexities of acute and critical care cardiovascular management demand specialty trained and experienced nurses to ensure quality patient outcomes. An ongoing nurse labor shortage threatens to destabilize the healthcare system and presents a twofold challenge: a decreasing supply of registered nurses and increasing demand for nursing services. This article describes the numerous forces driving the current nursing shortage as well as the impact of the coronavirus-19 pandemic on nurse job satisfaction and turnover. We present a reinvented model of nursing care as a framework for healthcare organizations to address nurse staffing challenges.

The complex early history of infant incubators provides insight into challenges faced by medical professionals as they promoted care for premature infants in the early 20th century. Despite their absence from the narrative to date, nurses played vital roles in the development of neonatal care. Working in many different settings, from incubator-baby shows to the first hospital unit designed specifically for premature infants, nurses administered quality care and promoted advanced treatment for these newborns.
