#NationalNursesWeek presents an opportunity to acknowledge the critical role nurses play in #healthcare and shine a light on the ongoing challenges they face.
Prompted by the pandemic, the flexible #nurse staffing model became dire to the success of health systems to combat the growing nursing shortage. While the benefits are indisputable, including flexible work schedules and increased pay, transient nurses lack the stability that staff roles provide, having to quickly adapt to new learning environments and unique work processes at each assignment.
With the demand to undertake patient care, travel nurses are increasingly susceptible to #communicationbreakdowns as critical procedural information can be missed during brief orientations and training. Through standardized #handoff #communication in hospitals and healthcare systems, #travelnurses can be better equipped to perform transitions of care and improve patient safety culture nationwide.
