Florence Nightingale's quote, "The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe," highlights the critical skill of observation in nursing. It emphasizes that beyond medical knowledge and technical skills, the ability to keenly observe patients is important. #FlorenceNightingale #NursingWisdom #PatientCare #NurseObservation #NursingSkills #HealthcareHeroes #NursingEducation #NursingExcellence #CriticalThinking

This piece published by JONA is a powerful reminder of how meaningful recognition can positively affect the individual nurse, organization, and patient. Check out the article "The DAISY Award—Meaningful Recognition's Impact on Patients, Nurses, and Organizations" here: https://ow.ly/v1ly50SOoL4

Quote from Sue Robins “When I was in nursing, nobody talked about how it felt to be a nurse. Nobody talked about how to process the traumatic events that we witnessed (or sometimes were a part of). Sara and Amie refreshingly talk about the ‘feels’ of nursing. All nursing faculties should put The Wisdom of Nurses on their mandatory reading list to help the emerging nurses feel less alone. The nursing stereotype of martyrs and heroes has only deepened since the beginning of the pandemic. This is not helping the nursing profession one bit. Understanding the experiences of nurses is the first step to solving the workforce crisis. In Canada, we don’t have a shortage of nurses. We simply don’t have enough employers committed to creating decent workplace environments for nurses to thrive. That being said, The Wisdom of Nurses should also be mandatory reading for nursing faculties, health workforce policy makers, and health care administrators – and patients and caregivers too. Heck, this is a book everybody should read, since we all will become involved in health care one day, whether we want to or not.” Thank you Sue Robins from the depths of my heart for all you do. Although you did not become a nurse, your role as a patient partner or I’d say patient agent of change is vital to healthcare. Everyone has a role to play—and each role is powerful and impactful. We can’t do healthcare right without patients providing their critical insights— that’s how we see better outcomes♥️🙏🏾

This is a good article. It also speaks to some of the frustrations of the bedside nurse. Rather than taking away the ability of the bedside nurse to use their critical thinking skills, we should be finding ways to let them use them more. #nurses #SaveBedsideNursing
