While the 2024 Becker's Nurse Salary and Job satisfaction report showed an increase in nurse salaries of 2.6% since 2002, the survey also showed Workplace violence from patients, patients' family members, and even colleagues remain a pressing concern for nurses. As more and more healthcare systems have begun to implement the use of staff worn duress buttons #CommureStrongline #StronglinePro, we are hearing nurses strongly voice that with these systems in place they feel safer, more valued and will only work in healthcare systems that have adopted these approaches to help ensure their safety in the workplace. The way to keep nurses at the bedside is to involve the nurses in the conversation around the decisions for what they need to be able to provide high quality care and be safe in their workplace. #prioritizenursesafety

Keeping a work environment that makes nurses feel appreciated takes a multifaceted approach. Ultimately, it entails creating a culture of respect for every single employee. But that comes in parts - giving nurses the opportunity to speak about their unique issues and be listened to is crucial. Offering nurses a part in decision making gives them the opportunity to create a workplace that works uniquely for them. Experienced leaders can also go a long way. Systems need to let nurses know that they matter- because they do. #NursingShortage #WorkCulture #MedicalHRTransformation

The American Nurses Foundation is proud to share the results from its fourth mental health and wellness survey as part of the Pulse on the Nation’s Nurses Survey. This survey was conducted in May 2023 and more than 7,400 nurses shared what it is like to be a nurse today. Results show that the nursing profession is still in desperate need of sustained support or the workforce will continue to decline in both well-being and in numbers. The findings continue to illustrate the magnitude of burnout nurses are experiencing -- from being overworked and understaffed to working in unsafe and unsupportive work environments.   Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/3u1QxQu

Nurse managers are forced to make impossible decisions every day. You would think that I am talking about critical patient care decisions. And sometimes, that is the case. But sadly, more often, nurse managers have to make near-impossible staffing decisions on a daily basis. ❓Who should I float today? ❓How am I going to negotiate with other nurse managers to protect my staff? ❓Who was the last person put on call? ❓Who just asked me to be put on call? ❓Who is already in overtime?  ❓Who should I call and beg to come in? ❓ Did I just call her yesterday? ❓ Does she have childcare at home today? Nurse managers don’t have the tools, resources or time to confirm whether their decisions optimize for staff satisfaction and/or cost efficiency.  Most staffing decisions are managed in an analog way: 📝  Comparing paper notes 📞  Joining conference calls 💬  Sending texts 📅  Attending multiple meetings per day between charge nurses and managers. Supervisors often run around from unit to unit to relay information in person. Which in turn leads to frustrated nurses and wasted time. Ultimately, patient care suffers, while hospital costs rise. M7 Health's mission is to eliminate these inefficiencies in nursing operations from our healthcare system. M7 helps hospitals make fair, efficient, and cost-effective schedules for management and nurses. The result is happier nurses, more time for patient care, and balanced hospital budgets. The future is here - who is coming with me? #nursingmanagement #nursesonlinkedin
