**An Involuntary Experiment in Healthcare 🏥👩⚕️** This week, I had an eye-opening personal experience that really highlighted the nursing shortage crisis we're facing. During a three-day hospital stay, I encountered incredibly dedicated and upbeat nurses, despite their constant stress. Their relentless commitment is truly admirable. 👏💪 Unfortunately, due to this shortage, two of my roommates had to be sent home unexpectedly, canceling their planned surgeries. This last-minute reshuffling starkly illustrates the impact of the nursing crisis on our healthcare system. 🚑🚨 It's time for us to address this issue head-on and find effective solutions to support our nurses and tackle the nursing shortage. 💡🤝 #HealthcareSystem #NursingShortage #HospitalLife #Nurses #HealthcareChallenges #Teamwork #Respect #OvercomingChallenges #FindingSolutions #StrongerTogether #GJU

Lately, I've been thinking about organizations and movements being #nurse-led and what this really means. When I started my nursing career in 1998, we mostly had opportunities at the bedside. However, today, nurses are needed at every level of #healthcare organizations - especially at the top! It amazes me when I find #companies trying to impact the future of #nursing or healthcare with no #nurses in the executive #leadership team. Clinical complexities, operational inefficiencies, and #payor issues must be addressed deeply, and nurses understand these challenges. Recent changes in healthcare and nursing excite me. I can't wait to see where the #futureofnursing takes us. #nursesonlinkedin

Stories like these break my heart. I’ve worked with some amazing nurses in my hospice career. Your post isn’t surprising. Why? Because there are SO many bad CEOs, OWNERS, and ADMINISTRATORS. Why? Because many do not really know what they are doing; they cut their teeth starting companies, and on moving up with short stints at many companies. (Study their resumes). They can afford to make medical and management mistakes because in the end—nothing will happen to them if they drink the company kool-aid. However, so far, the members of the interdisciplinary team are disposable. The corporate/company focus is on making money. They are NOT leaders. They are not people of integrity. Their mission is about wealth generation and not about CARE, COMFORT, COMPASSION, and UPLIFTING HUMANITY; NOR RESPECT FOR THEIR HARD-WORKING EMPLOYEES. Their advertising and brand is all window dressing. Support of and training for staff is not their mission. Sadly. What can be done? Keep posting the truth of the matter. Lobby Congress. Reach out to your local media. Report them. Sue. Start a Union. Ask questions, research, and expose. Highlight the great medical facilities; word of mouth is powerful. There are SO many noble and trustworthy providers in all aspects of our medical spectrum. I’m taking as many speaking engagements as I can handle to spread the truth. I’m not getting a lot of public support either, so I understand the dilemma of nurses who have been abused. The ruthless complain there are a dearth of good workers. NOT THE PROBLEM. Professionals are not going to apply at companies where there is no respect and support. Not to mention that equitable pay is lacking. The work culture of our former company, Hospice Advantage in the final years was rabid . . . oppressive . . . cut-throat . . . and blood thirsty. These people do not understand what servant-leaders are; what a calling is; and what a ministry or true mission is. They are not spiritually or emotionally mature human beings. For anyone utilizing medical care as a business in this country, the bottom line should be excellent patient care. It should be the utmost respect for those professionals who make that happen. The quality of medical care is being diminished in this country by ruthless financial sharks. I dedicated my book to many people—but, mainly to the amazing and dedicated RNs and CNAs that I worked with. Blessings to you. I pray for insight and wisdom to discern the path forward. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. My website and blogs on hospice care may help this readership. www.hospicehelppro.com

According to Press Ganey, more than two nursing personnel were assaulted every hour in the second quarter of 2022, which means approximately 57 assaults per day / 1,739 assaults per month / 5,217 assaults per quarter. Would any other industry tolerate these sorts of conditions? The article offers these ideas for stemming the tide: "Here are steps that healthcare organizations can take to mitigate violence against nurses: "Implement reporting systems for record-keeping and safety and well-being program evaluation; "Ensure caregiver safety is a core value, and set the expectation that violence on the job is neither expected nor accepted; "Enact formal policies and procedures for risk identification, hazard prevention and control, standard response plans and post-incident support; and "Implement training and education programs that teach warning signs, de-escalation techniques, progressive behavior control, emergency management, and communication and teamwork." Does your facility/organization proactively address this issue? If so, how? #nurses #nurse #nursing #healthcare #workplacesafety #workplaceviolence #workplaceviolenceprevention

Advocating for Accountability and support in Nursing ; MUST READ content if you’re a Nurse or an healthcare provider. I write to shed light on a pressing issue within our healthcare system: the unjust burden placed on nurses amidst systemic challenges. As an advocate for nursing, I stand firm in emphasizing a fundamental truth: no nurse sets out from home to deliver subpar care. Recent events have brought to the forefront the plight of nurses facing disproportionate consequences for mistakes made while on duty. While individual accountability is essential, it's equally crucial to address the broader systemic issues contributing to these incidents. Nurses undergo rigorous training to ensure the provision of quality and effective care. However, we must ask ourselves: can we confidently say the same about hospitals and management? Too often, nurses find themselves grappling with inadequate staffing levels and a lack of essential tools to perform their duties effectively. Unsafe practices and errors frequently stem from staffing shortages and staff burnout, leaving nurses stretched thin and struggling to balance multiple responsibilities simultaneously. Despite voicing concerns, nurses are often instructed to soldier on due to staffing shortages, only to face consequences when errors occur. It's disheartening to witness a single mistake overshadowing a nurse's decades of dedicated service, leading to the revocation of their pin and license – often their sole source of income. I urge us to collectively address these systemic challenges and advocate for accountability and support within our healthcare institutions. Nurses are human beings, not infallible machines, and it's time we recognize and respect the invaluable contributions they make to patient care. Let us work together to end this cycle and ensure that nurses receive the support and recognition they rightfully deserve. Please share this message to raise awareness and spark meaningful dialogue within our professional community. #Yourstruly Adeyemo Tolulope John #Nurse #Nursing #NursingAdvocacy #SupportNurses #HealthcareAccountability #NurseEmpowerment #PatientSafetyMatters #NursingLeadership #HealthcareAdvocacy #Mustread

An interesting perspective on the #nursing #workforce. Though more nurses will be coming in, #bedside nursing might still suffer as it is more of a layover in a career. We still need to address the causes that lead to rates of #jobsatisfaction, #anxiety, #depression to promote this side of the profession.
