WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, AND OUR BLOG
"There's such value in meeting our patients exactly where they are, with sensitivities to more insidious, systemic traumas for specific demographics." "For those of us who stay, but continue to see colleagues leave, our experience with their departures goes so much deeper than just the numbers game." "As someone who has administered hundreds of blood products to critically ill patients, I understand the importance of every drop of blood." "Great leaders understand that caring for the people in their organization, rewarding 'sustained superior performance,' . . . and empowering employees will result in improved outcomes from people who are willing to give their best, and reduce vacancies and turnover."
