Abstract
Recently, a colleague and I aimed to discuss something other than the surge in the number of COVID-19 cases that have affected the country. Advanced practitioners (APs) across the nation are facing unpredictable and stressful situations such as critically short staffing and decision-making challenges that surround patient safety. These concerns have reemerged as the number of patients and health-care providers diagnosed with COVID-19 continues to climb. My colleague and I discussed how we long for the day when we can enjoy even a brief pause in the seemingly unrelenting chaos.
