Major hospitals are looking forward to nursing graduates to fill the shortage of nurses, but if workplace conditions do not improve, the number of 'runaways' may increase. According to Ministry of Health and Welfare data, the nursing turnover rate increased from 10.13% in 2021 to 11.73% in 2022, with a vacancy rate of 6.53%, reaching a 10-year high. Issues such as intense workload, low pay, and harassment are pushing nurses, like 30-year-old Miss Wang who left 8 years ago, to choose other professions. With insufficient staffing and poor work environments, Taiwan's nursing workforce may continue to decline unless significant improvements are made.
