Study finds nurses primarily ended health care employment due to systemic features of their employer.
We can improve nurse retention by:
➡️ Reducing & preventing burnout,
➡️ improving nurse staffing levels,
➡️ Supporting nurses’ work-life balance

Medicine is just a bunch of people in pajamas, who voluntarily locked themselves in a building, running around screaming acronyms at each other.

I wish more people working in the NHS would read this and apply it to their working environments. Let’s work to enable and empower our staff, we only have a few left and they are currently choosing to stay. kingsfund.org.uk/publication…

On #WorldHumanitarianDay2022 we pay tribute to #healthcare workers (HCWs) who responded so bravely to COVID, & endured high workloads, exhaustion, & mental stress. @WHO estimated ±180k HCWs lost their lives in the first 1.5yrs of the #pandemic. We honour their selfless sacrifice.

Good decisions can be documented in short notes:
Melena. Hypotension. Anemia. Suspect upper GIB. DDX: ulcer, cancer, AVM, gastritis. Resuscitate. PPI. EGD.
Long notes raise the suspicion of poor decisions. It would take a lot more words to explain why you wouldn’t do an EGD.

Being an introvert is not about where you get your energy. It's how you handle stimulation.
Introverts are energized by people too. We’re just easily exhausted by loud parties, close talkers, and endless houseguests.
I'm not antisocial. I'm pro-quiet.

When a professional org is this persistent in their gaslighting and irresponsible/dangerous takes it’s no longer ignorance, it’s intentional
don’t advocate for us to gratitude and resilience our way out of exhaustion and danger
advocate for policies that make it better
Gratitude can be an antidote to the root causes of burnout, especially among health care professionals. Something as simple as thanking a colleague or being mindful of the good things in our lives can be effective self-care. gratitudefornurses.org #gratitudefornurses
