This Week in Nursing In this full chapter excerpt from The Nurse Manager’s Guide to Recruitment and Retention, learn about megatrends in nursing, the cost of turnover, and interventions to improve retention at your facility.  Florence Nightingale may be nursing's most famous caregiver, but don't overlook the way today's nurse leaders are influencing change in healthcare. This year’s Nurses' Week theme is innovation, encouraging nurses to take the lead on innovation in healthcare. Five years ago, we spoke with Jeanette Ives Erickson, RN, DNP, FAAN, about a new and exciting innovation in at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) – an initiative that designated 12 Innovation Units, where a philosophy of relationship-based care could be safely tested. This March, we checked in to see how the initiative has fared.
Solutions Spotlight Patient falls are a fixture in The Joint Commission’s list of top 10 sentinel events; in fact, they were the third highest sentinel event reported to the accreditor in 2016. Causes of falls can include inadequate assessments, side effects from medications or diseases, and environmental hazards, as well as a lack of leadership or staff orientation.
During this three-hour virtual workshop, Carole Eldridge, DNP, RN, CNE, NEA-BC, and Virginia Hall, DNP, MSN/Ed. RN, CNE, will provide a step-by-step guide to setting up a successful and sustainable evidence-based multidisciplinary fall prevention program in your facility.
