This issue of Executive Extra highlights nursing workforce. Meeting the complexities of today’s care providers requires nurse execs to be versed on multiple levels of initiatives. A landmark study in JONA’s March issue assesses the impact of health work environments on new grad satisfaction and turnover. The outcomes of this research are relevant not just for retention, but for supporting the satisfaction and healthier work environments of experienced RNs. We’ve included free access to this article in our “From the Journals” section below.

Societal trends dramatically impact the issues we confront as nurse leaders. Another study highlighted in JONA’s March issue addresses patient perception of caregivers with tattoos and piercings. Consider these findings when setting policies and tackling stereotypes and preconceptions. Again, enjoy free access to this article below.

The issues we confront daily with nurses at every phase of their careers are interesting and unique. I hope JONA’s content continues to provide you with evidence-based data and strategies to assist you in meeting your challenges.

Please visit www.jonajournal.com to review current and former articles on a variety of subjects. The ability to search the database of past JONA articles is an immediate resource for you and your team. Remember, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel: As nurse leaders, we can optimize our time by learning from others and then building on that knowledge.

Thanks for your interest in JONA.

 

Sincerely,

Karen S. Hill, RN, DNP, NEA-BC, FACHE
