Daily Nurse’s Post

𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐 Hello Nurses, It's a beautiful Saturday, and I've been reflecting on some recent questions from our community. Over the past week, many of you have asked, "What skills can I transfer?" and "Can I transfer my hard (clinical) skills?" Can't figure out what skills to transfer? Understanding transferable skills in nursing may help..... So, I decided to shed more light on this. Transferable skills are abilities and competencies that you can apply across different jobs and industries. These skills are not specific to one role but are valuable in various settings. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Last week, I had a chat with a nurse who was transitioning from a clinical role to healthcare administration. She was concerned about leaving her clinical skills behind. 𝐌𝐞: "You don’t have to leave your clinical skills behind. They are incredibly valuable" 𝐇𝐞𝐫:"Really? How so?" 𝐌𝐞: "Think about your patient assessment skills. They can be crucial in a policy-making role to understand healthcare needs. Your experience in wound care can help in creating training programs. Even your ability to manage medications can translate into roles in healthcare informatics or consulting." 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬...........to mention a few................................ 📍 Communication 📍 Leadership 📍 Critical Thinking 📍 Time Management 📍 Problem-solving skills 📍 Research and data analysis 📍 Project management 📍 Training and development And of course, you can transfer your clinical skills, which are your hard skills, as well. Now you know better. These skills can be transferred to both clinical and non-clinical nursing roles, making you adaptable and versatile. Transferable skills make you adaptable and versatile. They allow you to transition smoothly into different roles within nursing or even into other fields. 𝐓𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐝 (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟑)................................................... Remember, you are not alone. Repost to help other nurses realize their potential. I support passionate goal-driven nurses navigate their careers with confidence and ease and connect with nursing opportunities. P.S. Have questions about identifying your transferable skills?

Opportunities Threats Continuing education in nursing field for achieving higher degree and knowledge can provide me the opportunity to become much efficient in patient care and clinical service. By leveraging networks through building connections with experienced nurses, doctors, mentors and healthcare professionals can help me to enhance my knowledge and understanding about the nursing profession, activities, values and policies better. Participating in professional development programs and events such as workshops, seminars and conferences about nursing can help to enrich nursing abilities, skill set and expertise (Loke, Guo & Molassiotis, 2021). Nursing candidates with higher degree, knowledge and professional experiences can be significant threat to my career. Burnout is a significant concern in nursing profession (Dall’Ora et al., 2020). Sometimes over workload and its demand of excessive mental and physical pressure can create burnout and impact work responsibilities negatively. Due to the aging population and rising needs of healthcare services patients’ conditions are becoming much complex and demanding. Such demanding situations Table 1: Personal SWOT Analysis (Created by the Learner) Part 2: Skill Analysis Assessment of 2/3 strengths with Leading Yourself, Leading Others, Leading Organizations Skill of passion for helping others in leading self- As a nursing student, my passion for helping others can lead me as a profound anchor towards professional responsibilities and growth. The passion ignites a sense of purpose within me to take actions directly for ensuring health wellbeing for those in need. The drive for helping others motivates to strive for continuous excellence of own skills and knowledge for excellent nursing and care service (Orukwowu, 2022). Therefore, the passion of helping other works as a significant driver behind my goals and pushes me overcome obstacles and stay focused at my professional journey. Besides, the strength of passion within me for helping others fosters a strong empathy within me along with self-awareness. Through continuously being engaged with the needs and emotions of patients, I get a deeper understanding of human experiences, allowing myself to navigate my own emotions, motivation and different shortcomings. However, in the demanding field of nursing I require to balance between emotions and professional responsibilities. In the time of facing setbacks or pressuring situations the self awareness can help me to guide towards my responsibilities over emotions and do the right for patient care. Regarding this, continuous learning from practical hands-on experiences can help better to enable me utilising myself awareness and the passion for helping other in an effective way.

🏥 Solving the Nursing Shortage: Strategies for Healthcare Facilities 🏥 The nursing shortage has reached a critical juncture, exacerbated by the challenges brought forth by COVID-19. Healthcare facilities across the United States are facing a growing demand for bedside nurses, while the experienced workforce is dwindling. ✨ The Problem: More than 100,000 seasoned nurses have retired since the start of the Pandemic. Additionally, with the increasing needs of an aging population, 500k and more new Registered Nurses (RNs) are required immediately. But here at Global MedTeam, we believe that for every problem, there's a solution. Let's explore strategies for healthcare facilities to effectively manage nursing shortages: Collaborative Partnerships: Healthcare facilities can form partnerships with international recruitment agencies like Global MedTeam to bring in qualified nurses from countries like the Philippines. This not only helps bridge the gap but also brings diversity and fresh perspectives to the healthcare workforce. Invest in Education and Training: Investing in the education and training of nurse aides and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) can help create a pipeline of healthcare professionals. These individuals can work under the supervision of RNs, easing the burden on experienced nurses and providing essential care. Telehealth and Technology Integration: Embrace telehealth solutions and technology to optimize nurse workflows. Remote patient monitoring and telemedicine can enhance efficiency and allow nurses to serve more patients effectively. Workplace Flexibility and Retention: Provide incentives to retain experienced nurses, such as flexible working hours, career growth opportunities, and higher wages. Happy and content nurses are more likely to stay in the profession. Mentorship and Continuing Education: Encourage experienced nurses to become mentors for new nurses. This not only imparts valuable knowledge but also creates a sense of community and support. Streamlined Certification Processes: Simplify the certification and licensing process for foreign-educated nurses, ensuring they can quickly join the workforce and make a difference. Community Engagement: Actively engage with local communities and schools to spark interest in nursing as a career choice. Scholarships and mentorship programs can be incredibly effective in nurturing future talent. At Global MedTeam, we are dedicated to helping healthcare facilities in the United States access a pool of qualified nurses from the Philippines, ensuring that the shortage is effectively managed while maintaining the highest standards of care. Together, we can build a healthier and brighter future for healthcare.
