📻 5 mins listen here: audacy.com/podcast/kcbs-r…… I discuss implications of 'team nursing' in hospitals, why substituting lower-wage nursing personnel for RNs is dangerous for patients, solutions for retaining RNs at the hospital bedside. @MedicalCareLWW journals.lww.com/lww-medicalcar…

Our new study in @MedicalCareLWW today showed that substituting #RNs w/ lower-wage staff in hospital care is linked w/more deaths, readmissions, longer hospital stays, poorer Pt. satisfaction, & higher costs of care. @k_lasater bit.ly/nursestaffingm… nursing.upenn.edu/live/news/2580…

The public consistently ranks nursing as the most trusted profession. So it's remarkable that employers routinely undervalue — and understaff — such essential workers. trib.al/icSfWaU

ER nurses who did not recommend their workplace to other clinicians as a good place to work described poor nurse and ancillary staffing levels, nonresponsive hospital leadership, unsafe working conditions, workplace violence, and a lack of feeling valued. ja.ma/4aPWyQv

The leading reasons nurses left health care employment between 2018 and 2021: planned retirement (39%), burnout (26%), insufficient staffing (21%), and family obligations (18%). ja.ma/4cRcaFa

Surveying 7,887 registered nurses who left health care employment from 2018-2021, researchers from @PennNursing’s Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (@Penn_CHOPR) found that nurses cited poor working conditions as a major reason for leaving. bit.ly/3W0beIu
