Nurse Retention Strategies 💪 Retaining skilled nursing staff in nursing homes and assisted living facilities is critical for providing consistent, high-quality care to residents. Here are some effective strategies: 1. Competitive compensation and benefits: Ensure that nurses are fairly compensated for their skills and experience. Offering competitive salaries, health benefits, retirement plans, and paid time off can make a significant difference in attracting and retaining staff. 💰 2. Professional development opportunities: Provide opportunities for nurses to grow and advance in their careers. This can include access to continuing education, specialized training programs, and pathways for career advancement within the organization. 🎓 3. Positive work environment: Create a supportive and collaborative work culture. Encourage open communication, recognize and appreciate staff contributions, and foster a sense of teamwork and camaraderie among staff members. 🤝 4. Flexible scheduling: Understand that nurses have lives outside of work. Offering flexible schedules, including part-time options and accommodating shift preferences, can help staff maintain a healthy work-life balance. ⏰ 5. Supportive management: Ensure that nursing staff feel supported by their managers and supervisors. This includes providing clear communication, offering regular feedback, and being responsive to nurses' concerns and suggestions. 👂 6. Employee wellness programs: Invest in the physical and mental well-being of nursing staff. Wellness programs, stress management resources, and initiatives that promote work-life balance can help reduce burnout and improve overall job satisfaction. 🧘♀️ 7. Engage staff in decision-making: Involve nurses in decisions that affect their work and the care they provide. This can increase their sense of ownership and commitment to the organization. 🗳️ By implementing these strategies, nursing homes and assisted living facilities can create a more attractive and supportive environment for nurses, leading to better staff retention and improved care for residents.

TIDBIT TUESDAY! FIG Life Care Planning & Nurse Life Care Planning – Definition By Shelene Giles, CEO FIG Education, Inc.

Nurses want predictability and flexibility; here is how to deliver it. When explaining M7 Health, we often describe it as predictable AND flexible nursing workforce management. These seem like two contradictory concepts. Most nurses and nurse managers have experienced predictability OR flexibility in their work schedules. And nothing in between. What nurses really want is - predictable flexibility. Nurses want to know where, when, and with whom they are expected to work regularly - during hours and days that accommodate the rest of their work-life needs. But if nurses need flexibility, it should be available to them. As human beings, there will be instances where they need flexibility. It could be day-to-day, shift-to-shift, or vary with the seasons of life. It depends on their personal lives and goals (family, career ambitions, etc.) And all of us nurses want agency and control over those choices. That sounds amazing in theory. But “predictably flexibility” raises many eyebrows and leads to questions. How is this even possible? The traditional way nurse managers can implement this includes: 1️⃣ Taking an exhaustive inventory of every nurse's availability every day every week. 2️⃣ Using a lot of paper for notes, trial, and error. 3️⃣ Making a lot of phone calls to try to find complementarity between employees’ needs. 4️⃣ Based on those inputs, use advanced puzzle-solving skills to fairly and equitably make schedules based on those preferences and forecasted census. Easier said than done. It’s like playing Tetris at level 100. — Or they can implement M7 Health, and let software do the heavy lifting. M7’s app prompts nurses to input their schedule preferences every scheduling cycle and updates preferences as work-life needs change. M7 factors in nurse preferences and historic patient volume to offer fair, transparent, and efficient schedules. This saves nurse managers dozens of hours for each scheduling cycle. It also brings predictability AND flexibility to nurse scheduling. How does your hospital foster the work environment modern nurses expect today? #nursemanagement #nursinginnovation #nursesonlinkedin
