Frontline Personnel Services’ Post

#Nurse #Activism for the Future of the Frontline (vs “Self-Preservation” vs “Martyrdom”) There is no #patientcare without #frontline #nurses. There is no frontline if people keep recommending that nurses leave frontline roles as a primary solution for systemic problems in the work environment. Instead, please be a #strong #ally to help us push for the urgent changes nurses need to stay at the frontline. Frontline nurses know #firsthand about the systemic changes needed for patient safety & sustainable work environments. Frontline nurses need strong allies from all #roles, #ranks, & #disciplines in healthcare & the #public. A #collective #movement & multiple initiatives are imperative to shift the status quo of powerful entities that exploit & endanger patients & frontline staff. We are all patients, so the future of the frontline affects all of us. Please support the following groups & initiatives: ▪️The Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act: 👉🏻 Safe Staffing Ratios Nationwide 👉🏻 Whistleblower protection https://lnkd.in/gPbfFrxp https://lnkd.in/gwCjKe6d. ▪️S.4182 - Workplace Violence Prevention for HealthCare and Social Service Workers Act 👉🏻 Prevent Violent Assault Against Healthcare Workers https://lnkd.in/g49kKFT9 https://lnkd.in/gk9dMFGP ▪️Commission for Nurse Reimbursement 👉🏻 Make Nursing Services Reimbursable https://lnkd.in/gWyAqbZJ https://lnkd.in/gCeGCHyF ▪️CareLuminate 👉🏻 Bedside Nurses can review current hospital employers. https://lnkd.in/g7YiQP3S #patientsafety #healthyworkforce #HealthcareRevolution (Photo: “Game Changer” by artist Banksy, dedicated to NHS hospital workers at Southampton General Hospital, England)

#MondayMindset #GrassrootsImpact Being at the grassroots of the Long-Term Care and Skilled Nursing Community is where I believe I can make a positive impact. I work alongside my fellow LPNs, RNs, and CNAs in LTC/SNF facilities. I understand the challenges of working short-staffed, being mandated to work 16-hour shifts while caring for 22 or more patients, and assisting CNAs when they are also short-staffed, which often sets me back on my duties. I feel the despair when CNAs are short-staffed, having to care for 14 or more patients and double that amount on the third shift. I understand the feeling of not being appreciated. I know firsthand what it's like to share ideas with management to improve working conditions, only to have those ideas shut down. I empathize with patients who have to wait more than 10 minutes to have their call lights answered due to staff shortages. Family members often don't trust the staff, making it difficult to build a trusting relationship between the nursing staff and family members. Being at the grassroots level gives me the opportunity to enhance my emotional resilience and share my skills/expertise to improve the mindset of my colleagues. I aim to educate, uplift, support, and encourage them to advance their careers in the long-term care and skilled nursing industry. My intention was never to advance my nursing career in the corporate world of healthcare. Being at the grassroots level is more impactful for my life's purpose! #GrassrootsImpact #LongTermCare #SkilledNursing #NurseLife #CNA #PatientCare #TopTier

Healthcare CEO in Northeast PA

Aged care might not be the sexiest of clinical setting but for so many residents to be noting their high levels of experience, it confirms what I already know. Aged Care is a fun place to work!! No two days will be the same and as team members, those working in these settings get to make a difference that they can see over time. Unlike the acute setting where nurses attend to a patient who in most cases is a short stay patient and the nurse may never see again after only one or two interactions. For ongoing satisfaction, it's quite clear. A job in aged care services will not only challenge clinical knowledge and skillset but allow those there to enjoy their work. :-) Australia Ageing Agency report today states: "Meanwhile, in better news, more than 100,000 residents reported a good or excellent consumer experience – or 81.8 per cent of the 128,000 residents assessed at the 2,516 aged care homes that submitted data for this quality indicator." Well done to the teams working in aged care! #agedcare #hcsl #nursing

These riots and violence has now escalated to this. This is very SAD. I still believe in the Hippocratic Oath that i pledge 20 years ago that, “I will use my power to help the sick to the best of my ability and judgement; I will abstain from harming or wronging any man by it”. However, there is also a need for all of us in the healthcare industry to take care of ourselves, keep ourselves safe and maintain a safe healthcare environment. As what the RCN has said, “Employers have a duty of care to keep you safe at work, whether that’s a hospital or delivering care alone in community settings. Your organisation needs to act urgently to reassure nursing staff, review risk assessments and implement any measures necessary to keep you safe” Please read the guidelines Before you refuse care, you should: - consult with your manager and make your concerns known verbally and in writing as soon as possible - follow the agreed protocols and policy for your place of work and familiarise yourself with your local safeguarding policies where necessary Keep safe everyone. #uknurses #rcn #nursingleaders #safety #healthcaresafety #nurse #nurses #nursing #health #healthcare #racism #riots #policy #government

Violence against nurses is easier to dismiss when it's just a stat 📊. Here's a clip of a real story told by Jana BSN, which ultimately led to her leaving the bedside. The fear of violence in healthcare is real. Healthcare facilities and government bodies need to take immediate action to protect our caregivers. It's more than just a stat for those on the front lines. #nursesoflinkedin #nursingshortage #travelnursing  #nurselife #hospitalmanagement #healthcare #nurse #nursepay #healthcareleadership #healthcareleaders #cno #hospital #nurserecruitment #nurseretention #healthcareinnovation #healthcarecareers #healthcareindustry

Australian Nurses require access to Medicare billing codes, respect as highly trained health professionals, prescribing within our scope of practice, paid supervision, and paid placements. 'Bread and Roses for all nurses' 💪 As per the Australian College of Nursing: ACN is calling for the Government to fund a campaign to educate the public and politicians on what it means to be a modern nurse in Australia today. ACN CEO Adjunct Professor Kylie Ward told the Sunday Telegraph today that people still think the role of a nurse is to deal with bedpans when in reality, they do highly skilled work and are being asked more and more to do the same tasks as doctors, for which they are not properly remunerated. Ms Ward said a campaign, along with better pay and conditions and systemic changes, was crucial to tackling the workforce crisis and warned if the exodus continues: “Australians won't get the care they deserve” in hospitals, aged care homes and GP surgeries. #auspol #NursesAreTheSolution Read more about what ACN is calling for here - https://lnkd.in/gqfiUmwC #breadandrosesforallnurses #nursing #leadership #bethechange
