"[T]he crisis we face in nurse staffing is not just a lack of nurses but actually a growing gap between nursing experience and patients' complexity. That gap has increased in recent years, because newer nurses are replacing those who worked at the bedside for years, while at the same time progressive and critical care has become more complex."

home-based care is of paramount importance in modern healthcare systems.

A new article by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses highlights the incredible ways virtual nursing is transforming nursing. Health systems using virtual nursing are adapting their programs to meet the changing needs of their nurses. It's going beyond disease prevention and cost reduction. Experienced virtual nurses are assisting in rapid response stabilization, decreasing higher level of care transfers, and improving nursing efficiency.

Did you know that With 45% of in-patient nurses report that they are likely to leave their roles in the next 6 months? Much of this stems from nurses having to complete duties that are non-clinical, and here at Morrison Healthcare, we want to alleviate this stress. Hear more from Aundrea Mills, our Chief Nursing Officer, on the plans Compass One Healthcare has to support nurses and lower burnout rates: https://bit.ly/3NYqjFG.

WIth a new rule for minimum levels of staffing for nursing care facilities coming into effect, more nurses will be needed. Technology like clinical workflow solutions can help nurses work more efficiently to provide quality care.

Why are LPNs excluded from the new proposed staffing mandate for nursing homes? The proposed rule from CMS calls for a minimum of 0.55 hours of care from registered nurses per resident per day and 2.45 hours of care from a nurse aide per resident per day. This focuses on the RN component, but leaves out the significant role of the LPNs who are very important in providing care at the bedside in the long term care population. What do you think about the exclusion of LPNs?

There are several reasons that account for our national nursing shortage. Many of which are well-known - moral distress, ongoing mandation, redeployment, a lack of resources, worsening nurse-to-patient ratios and so on. All are factors that continue to further erode the frontline. And yet, few people are talking about the costliness of nurse turnover. In an article published on roarforgood.com entitled 'The Cost of Nurse Turnover,' the journalist wrote, “The average cost of turnover for a bedside RN ranges from $28,400 to $51,700 USD." In another published by NSI in their 2023 National Healthcare Retention and RN Staffing Report, “The average cost of turnover for a bedside RN is $52,350, a 13.5% increase from the previous year.” With just two reports - and both solely focused on RNs - one can't help but wonder what this looks like in our province. How much we are bleeding out as we pay for nurses walking out the door? Isn’t it better to invest in the public nurses who are on the frontline today? Radical change just might be thinking of new ways to keep the staff we have. #TimeForRadicalChange
