This Week in Nursing Most employee and nursing satisfaction/engagement surveys are done no more than once a year. That practice opens doors for nurse managers to implement other methods of tapping into employee preferences and feedback. This tool, from The Nurse Manager's Guide to Retention and Recruitment, offers some topics to consider including in focus group questions and informal surveys.  The Joint Commission has released a special report on suicide prevention in the November edition of Perspectives. The report contains recommendations from an expert panel on how to mitigate environmental hazards that suicidal patients could use to harm themselves. Hospitals and health systems have not typically prioritized nurse manager training and development. But that's changing as healthcare leaders begin to recognize the critical role nurse managers play in achieving an organization's outcomes and initiatives.
Solutions Spotlight With the current nursing shortage, recruiting and retaining the best nurses has implications for all levels of practice and all care delivery settings. Nurse Manager’s Guide to Retention and Recruitment is a user-friendly guide for nurse leaders that provides sound theoretical perspectives, evidence-based practices, practical strategies, and tools for achieving the best recruitment, engagement, and retention outcomes for their organization.
In addition, this book includes examples gleaned from the authors' collective years of experience and expertise in a complex urban healthcare market with large for-profit, not-for-profit, and public (county, state, and federally funded) healthcare organizations and systems.
