Woke Wednesday Facts: Bathrooms, bedpans, & urinals all work like they did when you obtained your BSN. Don’t allow that higher Ed. & swanky office to stop you from toileting a patient. This is a top patient priority & one of the #1 reasons why patients fall. Your staff nurses also need your helping hands along with your ideas. 💡 If nurses can’t get to the call lights in a reasonable time, perhaps your staffing grid need fresh 👀 ✅ We have solutions #nurses #patients #patientsafety #ouch #thetruthshallmakeyoufree #BSN #MSN #nurseexecutives #answercalllights

It is impossible to imagine a world without them, yet often their role is underestimated. As all their days are dedicated to caring for people, today we, the people, have the opportunity to show our care and words of appreciation for them because today is 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲! But is the purpose of International Nurses Day just about saying “thank you, nurses”? This year’s theme, OUR NURSES = OUR FUTURE, THE ECONOMIC POWER OF CARE tells us it’s more than that. Nurses are not just healthcare providers; it goes beyond that. They play a central role in health outcomes and the economic stability of societies. Changing our perceptions and strategic investment in nursing can bring economic and social benefits like improved patient outcomes, reduced hospitalisation times and overall healthcare savings. We believe International Day of Nursing is a day to recognise nursing as an important investment in the future healthcare and also a day to say THANK YOU! #IND2024 #Nursing #InternationalNursingDay #Caregivers #Nurses

#TopicTuesday Here's an interesting read on the importance of nurses' control of their shifts. 👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️📆 The nursing profession entails a wide range of responsibilities and challenges. Nurses are often required to work long hours, including night shifts, weekends, and holidays, to ensure round-the-clock patient care. At Nurses UK Group we believe that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for nurses to thrive both personally and professionally. The demanding nature of the nursing profession necessitates the importance of flexibility in managing personal and professional commitments. Therefore, in order to enhance the flexibility of nursing schedules, we offer innovative approaches such as self-scheduling and flexible staffing models. With these strategies we enable our nurses to have more control over their work schedules, promoting a healthier work-life balance. #worklifebalance #nursing #shiftpattern #joinus #nurseslife #nursingschedule
