Senior #nurseleaders: A few recent conversations with OTHER senior nurse leaders have reminded me what you are up against as a CNO or Director when: You are asking your nurse leaders who are "closest to care" to round... Knowing 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 well-being and sanity comes first... And it is first and foremost in YOUR mind too. Yet, asking your direct care leaders to round shouldn't be 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 to do, it should be 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 they do. Ultimately, what we see is that effective, efficient nurse leader rounding returns joy and purpose to their work, and they reap the benefit of that personally... and in their outcomes. And then you win too. Earlier this summer we created this free resource to help with these conversations. Bookmark this or download it to look at it this weekend, or on Monday. Eventually - your team will thank you for it.

"The best thing about Nursing Catalyst is the networking it allows our nurse managers."
