Lone Star Circle of Care’s Post

Missed nursing care It happens. And it happened even more during the pandemic. Missed care doesn't always mean bad outcomes But sometimes it does AWHONN published an article looking at 3 missed critical nursing care processes in labor and delivery during the pandemic: -Surveillance of fetal-well being -Excessive contractions -New maternal complications Inadequate staffing was associated with more missed critical nursing care This is not surprising to those of us who have worked with poor staffing I sometimes have mini panic attacks when thinking about "what could have happened" But even though we know something to be true, having the data to support safe staffing is validating Poor staffing is also associated with nurse burnout. Again, not a surprise I'm grateful we have dedicated nurse researchers looking at these issues and providing solutions! Safe staffing is a win for everyone! #perinatalnursing #burnout #nursing

It's time organizations view staff well-being not as an expense but as an investment. Imagine this: A 'Wellness Scorecard' alongside financial reports. It quantifies not just profit but also the emotional health of staff. A shift must occur that starts by PUTTING PEOPLE 1ST, ensuring staff's emotional well-being, and measuring factors like workload, burnout risk, and mental health support. Healthcare's investment in staff well-being not only PRIORITIZES PATIENT CARE but also aligns PROFITABILITY with PURPOSE. The recent tragedy underscores the urgency of such an approach. A healthy and happy workforce provides quality care and ensures the safety of all patients.

Why Hire Staff You Don’t Want or Plan to Keep? Post COVID many acute care hospitals started welcoming LPN/LVNs back, along with associate degree RNs. Between, the patient surge, aging population, and aging/retiring RNs, there seemed to be a need. Core staff is less expensive and can provide more commitment and continuity than agency. LPN/LVNs can be easier on the budget. With the correct staffing matrix LPN/LVNs can perform much of the same work as RNs. But does your front line staff know why you are hiring us? Many RNs are hostile to LPN/LVNs to a degree that would be criminal had we been a protected class. They believe their lives would be easier if not for us. They do not believe there is a shortage. 30 plus years into nursing I do not have the patience to be where I am not wanted. To be spoke down to or not heard by nurses with less than one year’s experience. Healthcare is still structured as a cast system. A place that a Bill Gates or Steve Jobs would have difficulty getting hired as a nurse’s aide. Where an associate degree can cause someone to have feelings of grandeur. The lowest status nurse is the one at bedside. Where you may have a CNO, DON, NM, Clinical manager/educator, or others before you get to anyone laying hands on a patient or performs any billable care. With systems approaches, standard work, AI, and endless policies and procedures bedside nurses are discouraged from critical thinking. New nurses are believing knowing policies and not getting in trouble is the same as being a good nurse/ caregiver. Where is the Caritage?

Physician and nurse burnout is reaching crisis levels. More than half of young medical and nursing students are considering leaving healthcare, according to a troubling new study. It's time we act to save healthcare and combat burnout 💛 Here are my thoughts. #physicianburnout #doctor #nurse #surgeon #healthcare
