Atlas Healthcare Group’s Post

Today, on International Workers’ Memorial Day, we commemorate those who lost their lives or suffered injury due to lack of protection at work, and pledge to always fight for the health and safety of nursing staff. All nursing staff should expect healthy and safe workplaces, but from crumbling buildings to lack of protective equipment, it’s too often simply not the case. In this blog, Andrew writes about why becoming an RCN Health and Safety Rep can empower you to lead change and create safer, healthier workplaces for all. https://lnkd.in/eVBVJJHZ

Some thoughts on EMS Week!

Hot weather, outdoor activities and summer holidays can all lead to increased ED visits. ENA's summer safety resources page compiles helpful information and resources that can be shared with the public to help them stay safe. https://bit.ly/3s75D6e #ENAResources #SummerSafety #InjuryPrevention #EDNurse #EmergencyNurse #EmergencyDepartment #SafetyFirst

“Learning is a constant process of discovery - a process without end” - Albert Einstein. Education and training are career-long pursuits, and as a Network, we’re committed to supporting our nursing staff in continued learning and growth. The Network’s Nursing Unit Manager (NUM) masterclasses play an important part in our professional development program. These sessions not only equip our senior nursing staff with new skills but also create an opportunity for collaboration and connection with other leaders. This year, our NUM Development Pathway Masterclass focused on “learning through change”, facilitating discussions around driving change, navigating resistance and anchoring teams.  Attendees embraced the chance to upskill, while also having a safe space to share their thoughts, experiences, and challenges. Together, we grow as leaders.  We're committed to fostering a culture of learning and growth across the Network. Education and training opportunities like our NUM masterclasses are central to supporting the ongoing development of our brilliant nursing teams. Discover more about opportunities within @Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network: https://lnkd.in/gXeiPs8N #paediatrics #paediatrichealthcare #paediatriccareers #nursing #paediatricnursing #learninganddevelopment #leadership

Good for Iowa and the industry! Agency’s practise of overcharging Facilities dependent on Medicare and Medicaid and using questionable ethics to poach our employees needs to be gutted….. “The bill joins a small but growing tide of similar bills around the US, including at least 11 proposed state measures, that were under consideration in 2023. Regardless of this bill’s future success, Iowa’s state government has taken long-term care funding seriously in recent years — passing $15 million in new funding in 2023. By some metrics, the state is already the best in the nation for eldercare.” It would be nice if another “I” state, like Idaho, exhibited this type of concern for eldercare and our seniors…… #skillednursing #longtermcare
