The healthcare industry is grappling with significant challenges in nursing staffing, especially as the post-pandemic landscape exacerbates existing shortages. Reports indicate a projected deficit of over 200,000 nurses by 2030, highlighting the urgent need for action. Strategies such as federal legislation for nurse visas and improved working conditions are crucial to address these issues. Supporting early-career nurses and enhancing employee engagement are key steps towards building a resilient healthcare workforce. Collaboration among healthcare organizations, policymakers, and industry leaders is vital for a sustainable future for the nursing profession. #NursingShortage #HealthcareWorkforce #NurseRetention #HealthcareChallenges #FutureOfNursing #HealthcareLeadership #NurseStaffing #WorkforceDevelopment #NursingCareers #HealthcareSolutions #IMCSGroup #Staffing

Nurses are an essential part of our healthcare system, yet they face alarming rates of violence and burnout. Did you know that 2 nurses are assaulted every hour and 30% plan on leaving their job in the next 30 days? Violence against nurses has increased 5% over the last year, and ER nurses face a physically or verbally abusive situations for every 40 hours worked. Unfortunately, nurses do not feel supported in advocating for themselves by reporting these situations. It's time for institutions to take accountability for providing a safe working environment and supporting nurses' physical and psychological safety. Addressing overall working conditions for nurses would be a great step in the right direction. The answer isn't an ongoing stream of new nurses to burnout and move on to the next one. Let's work together to create a safer and healthier work environment for our nurses so they can continue to provide the crucial care our communities need. #nurses #healthcare #safety #support

The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) held a symposium in November to address nursing #shortage, #selfcare and #workplace #safety in November. Here are the main takeaways: 👉 Almost 30% of the workforce are planning to leave the ranks in the next five years (⬆️ 7% vs 2020). 👉 The implications of the #heroarchetype as it relates to nurses may be detrimental as it implies an idea of self-sacrifice and compromise. 👉 The need for #nurses to prioritise themselves. Check out Bill HR 2663 on workplace violence. As a reminder, #violence in #healthcare exceeds that of any other profession or sector, even law enforcement. Let that sink in. George Niles Mekeel

Keep the conversations going... How can we expect our community of nurses to feel supported, safe, and valued if they fear losing their license for seeking help? Roughly 1 in 5 (19%) cite a lack of knowledge or resources as reasons for not seeking help, or concerns about losing their job or having their colleagues find out. Ending the stigma surrounding nurse mental health is a decade-long systemic problem that has persisted through each generation of the workforce. Shifting the paradigm on mental health regarding licensure and state boards will not solve the complexities of what the acute care environment is doing to our nurses... but it's a start. A big shout-out to J. Corey Feist, JD, MBA and the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation for continuing this dialogue, raising awareness, and beginning to remove the barriers to nurses safely addressing their mental health. Let's work together to create a culture where seeking help is encouraged, where resources are readily available, and where nurses feel supported in prioritizing their mental well-being.

The latest insights from AMN Healthcare's Nurses in 2024 report paint a promising picture for our nursing community. Survey data reveals a significant shift in sentiments, with fewer nurses expressing intentions to leave their roles compared to previous years. This is a testament to the collective efforts poured into enhancing retention strategies post-pandemic. However, our journey toward sustainable nursing excellence is far from over. The findings also shed light on an emerging concern: workplace violence. Disturbingly, a February report by National Nurses United revealed that 60% of nurses have been compelled to change or contemplate leaving their jobs due to incidents of workplace violence. As nursing leaders, it's imperative that we remain vigilant in safeguarding the well-being of our frontline heroes. We must continue to advocate for safer work environments and prioritize initiatives aimed at preventing and addressing instances of violence in healthcare settings. Let's celebrate the strides we've made in retention efforts while remaining steadfast in our commitment to tackling the challenges that lie ahead. Together, we can create a nurturing and supportive environment where every nurse thrives. #NursingLeadership #WorkplaceSafety #HealthcareExcellence

New Review Article in RRH: What do nurses practising in rural, remote and isolated locations consider important for attraction and retention? A scoping review by Catherine Holland, Christina Malatzky and Jerico Pardosi. https://lnkd.in/g_Cwg_dt Nurses represent almost half of the worldwide health workforce and play a critical role in providing health care, from tertiary through to primary and community-based settings. The inadequate size of the nursing workforce has fundamental consequences for the accessibility and quality of health care provided to communities. It also detrimentally affects the health and wellbeing of the existing nursing workforce and damages community perceptions of health services, further exacerbating attrition and the acceptability and utilisation of health services. This article reviews existing literature that reports rural and remote nurses’ views on what informs the attraction, retention and resignation of the rural and remote nurse workforce. #ruralhealth #australia #ruralnursing #recruitment #resignation #retention QUT (Queensland University of Technology) Christina Malatzky Jerico Pardosi
