It is interesting that while every study shows that burnout is killing the field of nursing, I haven't found an article that shows how to fix it, but I think the fix will need some of the changes below:1.	Insurance industry must begin to reimburse hospitals/healthcare organizations for the care that nurses provide (like the care the doctors provide).  Unless and until this happens, hospitals will always, always, always work to maximize services that providers can perform that insurance companies pay for, while minimizing the nursing care actually required.2.	Hospital senior leadership invests in nursing as the backbone of its business and allows hiring nurses to meet appropriate staffing levels. 3.	Colleges and Universities reduce the cost of tuition and pay its nursing faculty a wage that is commensurate with the valuable work they are doing.  4.	Resources must be available to new nurses in any healthcare setting to continue to teach and reinforce learning so safe patient care is a priority.5.	CMS has to get rid of the mandates they have around documentation and diagnostic testing, which has led to an over-zealous litigious manner of physician practice; this would reduce waste and cost in healthcare.6.	Pharmaceutical companies must not be allowed their means of price-gouging…they are killing the cost of medications which every healthcare consumer must have available to them.
