Fatigue affects concentration, decision-making, and reaction time.
Even experienced nurses can miss small but critical details when exhausted.

it’s about human limits.
Protecting nurses from excessive fatigue protects patients as well.
Because safe care requires clear thinking —
and clear thinking requires rest.
