"We recognize we can't compete with the travel nurse salaries, but we're very focused on our work environment and what we can compete with is creating that sense of purpose and belonging, as well as well-being. We know that nurses want to be involved in meaningful work." — Maureen Sintich, DNP, MBA, RN, WHNP-BC, NEA-BC, executive vice president and chief nurse executive, Inova Health
