Understanding Nursing Challenges in Indonesia's COVID-19 Fight: This study looks at how the pandemic affected the way nurses were hired and managed in Indonesia.

The pandemic made things tough by increasing the need for nurses and decreasing their numbers. This study helps us see how these challenges affected healthcare during COVID-19.
