Moving Beyond Retention: Empower Nurses Today

Nurses who have developed leadership skills, while still in a bedside role, are shown to provide better patient outcomes (lowered HAIs, shortened LOS, improved patient experience, etc). Research has also proven the positive impact nurse mentorship programs have on the nursing enterprise (like improved retention, lower burnout, etc). LFC shares how one hospital coupled leadership skill development with mentorship for their nurses and the cascading impact seen post-program.

Upskilling the Charge Nurse

While the actual role of the charge nurse can vary dramatically by organization, the role charge nurses play is vital in unit success, including retention. The problem is, charge nurses are almost always promoted based on their clinical proficiency rather than their leadership potential. In fact, 93% of charge nurses don’t receive mentors to help prepare them for leadership prior to their role. Imagine how much more impactful your charge nurses could be if armed with key leadership skills like self-awareness, conflict management, communication, and so on? In this webinar, Lead for Care dives into how organizations can provide key skills that will help your charge nurses thrive, at a price point that reflects today’s economic realities.

State of Mentorship 2-Part Series

As health systems rally to stabilize the nursing workforce, many organizations are revisiting mentorship as a retention tool. Structured mentorship programs lead to lower burnout, increased joy at work, improved peer support, and growth and confidence in a multitude of skills. 

In Part 1, Lead for Care shares results from national survey highlighting:

• Why urgency around the staffing crisis is accelerating

• Characteristics of successful (and unsuccessful) programs

• Immediate opportunities for enhancement and development

• The impact of existing programs on key nursing metrics like retention, engagement, and likelihood to stay.

In Part 2, we will share the case study of how one organization is building a scalable mentorship program for nurses. We will highlight key lessons learned and insight into the overall impact on participating nurses.

Mentorship as a Strategic Retention Lever

While broadly deployed across other sectors of the US economy, formal mentorship programs in nursing are unfortunately not as common as one may think.  While preceptorships fill a necessary role in guiding early career nurses through their clinical education, formal mentors provide both career advice and emotional support, something that preceptors may or may not be prepared to provide.  As hospitals turn to building long-term retention strategies, research suggests that formal mentorship in nursing may be an untapped opportunity, and a necessary tool in every nursing organization's retention toolkit. Recording  here.

Future-Proof Your Nursing Workforce

The staffing crisis is everywhere. Alarming research published argues that if we don’t future-proof our clinicians, 75% will leave the profession. Nursing leaders are under intense pressure to source strategies that support recruitment and retention, while optimizing clinical outcomes. At Lead for Care, we believe the staffing crisis holds an opportunity to rethink bedside nursing and future-proof the nursing enterprise. In this webinar, we share a key recruitment and retention strategy that not only will help in the short-term, but also future-proof your nursing workforce strategy.  Recording here.

A Next Generation Model for Battling Nurse Burnout

With COVID infections spiking nationwide, nursing leaders are struggling to protect the physical and emotional well-being of their frontline nurses. Health systems have responded by investing in largely self-directed tools designed to battle burnout and improve resilience: things like yoga, meditation, gift cards, mindfulness, and so on. While these tools are necessary, and send an important signal to your staff, most health systems will never truly get ahead of burnout since they are missing a simple, yet critical first step on their nurse burnout defense strategy.
The good news: there is a solution that overcomes these weaknesses and sets health systems on a sustainable path to preventing burnout, not just treating it. Join LFC Dec 10th for a 30min complimentary webinar on "A Next Generation Model for Battling Nurse Burnout". Recording here.
