Perioperative Nurse = Multitasking Ninja👊 Perioperative nurses constantly prioritize, multitask, and triage information throughout their busy day. However, a key to becoming a super organized circulator is to have an intentional plan. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” It is essential to have a strategy for being organized. Check out The Stitch’s “Organizational Tips for Being One RN Circulator in a Room Full of Surgeons and Support Staff” for quick tips like these: - Consult the surgeon’s preference card. - Visit the patient in the preoperative area to conduct the interview. - Verify that a type and screen or cross was ordered (if needed). - Pull medication for the case and other specialty items. Tell us how you stay organized in the comments below. The Stitch is AORN’s new digital resource and community for novice nurses that features quick-hitting, relatable, easily understood content for the first few years of perioperative nursing.

Stigma is not the same as reputation. The med-surg reputation has been earned by overloading nurses with too many patients. With longer average length of stays and higher patient acuity, med-surg nursing is uniquely challenging. I witnessed first hand the RN exodus from med-surg nursing units during the last 3-4 years. The solution, while nuanced, isn’t complex: better compensation, more support staff, and safer staffing. People tend to view career challenges as “stepping stones” when the ground beneath them is unstable. To cultivate a unit culture of skill mastery and longevity, you need your people to want to stick around. People tend to stick around when they are well compensated, coached (not managed), and know you care.

The Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies (IJPS) was developed through a partnership between the Center for Partnership Systems, the University of Minnesota Libraries, and the University of Minnesota School of Nursing. It shares scholarship and creates connections for cultural transformation to build a world in which all relationships, institutions, policies, and organizations are based on principles of partnership. The current issue — Vol. 10 No. 2 (2023) [Partnership and Innovation] — features Oriana Beaudet, DNP RN FAAN of the American Nurses Association as Guest Editor. --- Read "Patient Care Device Technology Transformation: Nurses Seek Partners to Achieve Patient Care Excellence" — contributed by Abby Winterberg (Cincinnati Children's); Kelly Landsman (Landsman Engineering); Nancy Downing (Texas A&M University); Lindsey Roddy (RoddyMedical, Inc.); and Rosemary Kennedy (Connect America) LINK: https://lnkd.in/epvUJp8n Nurses make up the largest segment of the health-care workforce worldwide (World Health Organization, 2020). Nursing is fundamentally a process of innovation, where creativity and problem-solving are leveraged to co-create optimal outcomes for each patient and family. Throughout history, nurse innovators have contributed significantly to health-care research, quality, safety, and improved outcomes. Unfortunately, nursing innovation is often not well recognized, respected, or utilized, and most patient care devices and technologies currently in use were not developed by or even with direct consultation with nurses. Nurses seek transdisciplinary partners to develop devices and technologies to transform health care and achieve optimal patient outcomes. This article highlights the experience of five nurses partnering with other disciplines to bring nursing innovations into practice, introducing a vision for patient care devices and technologies developed by a committee formed through the American Nurses Association. Sharing these experiences and vision is a call to interdisciplinary colleagues to recognize nurses’ needs, skills, and efforts - a call to partner with them to install devices and technologies into health care that can achieve patient care excellence. --- The Art Feature of this issue is called "Grief" — created with mixed media, paper, marker, natural fibers, and dried flowers — by Sara Bauer, MN, MA, RN, PHN.
