Are flexible shifts possible for the nursing workforce? As the demands of healthcare continue to evolve and increase, coupled with a strain in nursing manpower, the need for a work environment that promotes flexibility, efficiency and staff well-being remains pivotal for our nurses. Through focus group sessions, nurses have shared challenges they face during their shift, which include inflexible start and end times, inadequate break time due to workload, and leaving the workplace later than the intended end time. To address these concerns, we piloted a highly agile workforce model, coined the Liquid Nursing initiative which allows flexible scheduling and modularised roles for our full-time nurses. The initiatives have resulted in greater work-life balance, greater job satisfaction, and more streamlined processes for our nursing workforce. We plan to scale-up this initiative to all its 27 in-patient wards, benefitting about 2,500 nurses, by the end of the year.

Let’s just be honest, nursing culture has changed. In today’s hospitals and clinics, homes and skilled nursing facilities, rehabs and hospice, whatever the location the challenges are very similar. Nurses feel unappreciated, overworked and are in survival mode, as they take on not only the nursing roles but those of the tech, the unit secretary, the phlebotomist and the RT, sometimes even housekeeping… I see you! But I’m reminded of something I learned in nursing school that has never failed me, the same something I saw a physician do many years ago that earned him so much respect in my eyes, when I asked him a question he didn’t know the answer to. He stepped out of the room and came back in with a big book and found the answer, right in front of me. This was before I was a nurse, I was just a young mom with a sick baby. You see what I learned in nursing school, what that physician showed me, we don’t always have to have a ready answer, we just have to know where to find answers. Though nursing in and of itself is shifting, we don’t have to be afraid of change, we just have to learn how to adapt and inspire those around us. Whether leading your coworkers laterally or in a position of leadership we all have an opportunity to impact the culture of nursing. This book is a great place to start. I just started it a few days ago and already have gleaned a wealth of insight. I encourage you to pick up a copy and be the change you want to see. #nurseslead #nurses #healthcare #inspire #bethechangeyouwanttosee #nursesmatter

NURSE RETENTION: THE KEY TO BETTER OUTCOMES FOR BOTH PATIENTS AND NURSES This powerful statement highlights the crucial role that nurse retention plays in the quality patient care. When hospitals focus on retaining their skilled and experienced nurses, everyone benefits. A stable nursing workforce fosters a positive and supportive work environment, where collaboration and trust flourish. This, in turn, leads to improved patient care and outcomes, as nurses are better equipped to provide high-quality, consistent care. Moreover, by reducing turnover rates, hospitals can save significant amounts of money that would otherwise be spent on recruiting, hiring, and training new nurses. These cost savings can be redirected towards initiatives that further enhance patient care and support the nursing staff. It's time for healthcare organizations to recognize the immense value of their nursing workforce and prioritize retention strategies. By doing so, they can create a win-win situation for nurses, patients, and the organization as a whole.

😳 Nurses, can we talk about this Nurse.org survey? I left bedside nursing back in 2015. And guess what I was asked over and over again? When are you going back to the hospital? My answer…NEVER! As an operating room nurse, for YEARS I worked 12 hour shifts, holidays, nights, weekends… And the hospital could not provide me with what I desired most…A WORK-LIFE BALANCE! And that’s exactly what I gave myself through legal nurse consulting. I was able to leave bedside nursing, and I’ve never looked back! If you’re like me, you understand the true value of your nursing knowledge, and you’re no longer willing to settle in life. Because the truth is you ABSOLUTELY can have financial peace and a work-life balance in nursing!
