About

Dr. Rosa Silva is a leading voice in nursing workforce research, whose work confronts the profession’s most pressing challenges head-on. Her scholarship centers on the critical issues of nurse attrition, workforce innovation, and the systemic reforms needed to sustain the profession in a post-pandemic world. In her landmark paper, “The future of nursing: attrition, innovation, and the path ahead” (2024), Dr. Silva provides a compelling analysis of the deep disillusionment among nurses following the COVID-19 era—a crisis she argues was exacerbated by unfulfilled promises of better working conditions, increased staffing, and enhanced professional recognition. Though recently published, this work has already garnered attention as a foundational text for understanding the current nursing landscape. Dr. Silva’s contributions extend beyond diagnosis; she offers actionable frameworks for retaining talent and fostering innovation within healthcare systems. Her research is essential reading for students, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to navigate the future of nursing with both clarity and compassion.
