Interview with Thomas Hazel, MSN, Associate Professor, NCLEX Success Team, Nightingale College “Many people don’t realize how much nurses contribute to patient outcomes. Their vigilance, quick thinking, and ability to respond to changes in a patient’s condition can make all the difference in recovery. Nurses also play a crucial role in educating patients and their families and helping them understand how to manage their health.” #RegisteredNurse #NursingCareer #HealthcareProfessionals #NursingEducation #RN #PatientCare #NursingJobs #Healthcare #NurseLife #NursingSchool #ClinicalPractice #HealthcareCareers #NursingCommunity #FutureNurse #NursingLicensure

Quote: "Nursing is not just a job, it's a calling." This quote resonates deeply with me. As nurses, we have the privilege of making a real difference in the lives of our patients. It's a challenging but incredibly rewarding profession. Link: https://lnkd.in/dvewCBKW #nursing #healthcare #leadership

As we continue to examine the critical data emerging from our most recent Nurse Survey, it's clear that the challenges faced by nurses today signal a pivotal moment for the healthcare industry.    Robin Johnson, Group President of AMN Healthcare's Nursing & Allied Solutions, said, "The concerns that many nurses have about their profession were not created by COVID-19 and have not gone away now that the crisis has passed. Many nurses still feel overworked and undercompensated. What they want to see is a change in their daily working conditions – better hours, fair compensation, and more time with their patients.     She continued, "This is not just a nurse morale issue, it’s a public health issue. A more engaged, productive nurse workforce means better care and better outcomes for the patients they serve. While the healthcare industry is acutely aware of this, the survey shows more work needs to be done.” Read the full article on Fox News Media to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the nursing profession. https://lnkd.in/eh6-6vRW

800,000 NURSES INTEND TO LEAVE THE WORKFORCE BY 2027 Approximately 24% of these nurses are "new and younger nurses," according to a study completed in April 2023 by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing and National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers. While this report may seem dated, the issue of nurse staffing and nurse retention is relatively unchanged today.

This is why we do what we do! Since 2019, we’ve found creative ways to support nurse professionals in leveraging and using their clinical skills in ways that still support patient care across healthcare. It’s easy to blame a generation of nurses for having boundaries and not wanting to stick around and deal with impossible situations. It’s easy to call nurses lazy when what you’re actually seeing is burnout from being placed in situations where they experience distress and inability to be present and provide quality care and support. But it’s also easy to say that the nurse exodus is just new grads when we have a large percentage of retiring nurses, disabled nurses, and neurodivergent nurses who are unable to locate the right unit for their skill set and abilities. And let’s not forget the sandwich generation of nurses who have children and sick/aging adult parents at home who cannot work a traditional—3-day/12-hour rotating schedule. And that’s where we come in. According to The Future of Nursing, 2020 to 2030, experts say that it’s better to retain nursing knowledge within healthcare than have them leave altogether. Wouldn’t it be better to have a nurse find a new unit to work in than to have them drive trucks across the country? We have years of career transition experience, work with and helped nurses who would rather leave and work at a retail store hanging clothes than ever put themselves back into a clinical care space again. We work with nurses to provide clear career paths forward so they can continue using their nursing knowledge and recover their passion for patient care. Without nurses, there are no healthcare “services”.
