WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, AND OUR BLOG
"If staff safety and satisfaction isn't prioritized, patient care and patient outcomes will suffer as a result." "As a nurse manager, I always put my staff first. I believed that if you did that, everything else would fall into place. And it showed-I started with a 46% turnover rate and went down to 2%." "Finding clinical placement has been nothing but a nightmare for me. I had to take two semesters off and nearly had to quit my [family NP] program."
