Summary:A recent systematic review of the experience of nurses working in acute care, where most new graduate nurses practice, during a respiratory pandemic found that nurses need policy makers and professional nursing organizations to actively advocate and support the role of nurses before, during, and after a pandemic (Fernandez, et al. 2020).
