Illinois Organization of Nurse Leaders’ Post

Nurse to patient ratios: the difference between life and death; the difference between a reassuring and ultimately positive hospital experience and a traumatising and negative experience of care. The difference between a good day for a nurse and a super stressful and upsetting day when they can't wait to get home and consider quitting. This is a critical campaign with some excellent research behind it that makes a very strong economic case for mandating minimum ratios; leaving aside the fact that we all know instinctively that one nurse looking after ten patients is generally not a good thing! https://lnkd.in/eXy5MVv9

🌞 Good Morning! Let's talk advocacy for quality care. Its at the heart of our mission. Did you know that studies show hospitals with higher nursing staff to patient ratio have lower odds of mortality? ❓ So what does this mean? ☠ For every 1 patient added to a nurse's workload, there is an associated 7% increase in the likelihood of a patient dying within 30 days of admission. We take these kinds of statistics seriously! 🏥 Retaining experienced nursing staff for patient safety and quality of care is critical for sustainable healthcare. ✍ At NursingFront, we're passionate about advocating for policies and practices that prioritize patient safety. This includes advocating for strategies to retain experienced nursing staff, so workloads stay balanced and fair, and organizations can improve on overall performance and efficiency. Join us in our advocacy efforts by telling us what you think. Have a company you’d like to feature on our platform? Together let’s ensure that every patient receives quality care, every nurse feels supported in their crucial role, and every organization has the resources to support this infrastructure. Help us care for those who take care of us. www.NursingFront.com #QualityCare #PatientSafety #NursingRetention #Advocacy

As a nurse or broadly a health care professional, you should have a “life” outside the medical field, for medical and nursing practice is draining and you ought to stay sane, keeping serene amidst the chaos in the field. Develop hobbies that keep you alive when you are off duty, hobbies that liven your soul. Do not give depression from medical and nursing practice a room to cultivate doom #serenityamdistchaos

As nurses, we are no strangers to advocating for the well-being of our patients. But extending that advocacy to our colleagues — especially in the face of discrimination and bias — is just as important. Being an ally isn’t easy — it requires humility, empathy, and a willingness to listen and learn. It takes courage to use your privilege and platform to amplify the voices of others, especially those who don’t have the same opportunities or visibility. Isn’t that what all nurses (and people) deserve? Join me and the ANA for the April #healthynurse challenge Embracing Allyship to become a better ally in your nursing practice and help create a workplace culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported.

The nursing shortage is very real and very complicated. The American College of Healthcare Executives recently released its annual report, which saw hospital CEOs rank workforce challenges as their number one concern with the shortage of registered nurses near the top of the list. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Erica DeBoer, the amazing Chief Nursing Officer at Sanford Health, about this issue. We covered a ton of ground, from how we can best tap into the wisdom of our existing nursing population, to how AI and automation are helping ease administrative burdens, to getting into the hearts and minds of the next generation of nursing talent. I hope you’ll have a listen to our conversation: https://lnkd.in/gYmRuU6p
