Abstract

The nursing profession is going through a profound crisis, and staff burnout is a frequent and worrying aspect. As suggested by Xie et al., there are good prospects for undertaking improvement paths. We agree with the authors' suggestions and add further ideas for a change of direction and the renewal of the nursing profession.
