The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects over 1.09 million RN vacancies by 2022. This is a critical shortage because research shows a direct correlation between adequate staffing of quality registered nurses and positive patient outcomes. So, how can hospitals and health systems recruit and retain staff? By getting back to the basics of human connection, organizations can engage employees and lead them to happiness and fulfilment in their careers. Qualivis President Sherry Kolb, RN, has recorded an online presentation where she discusses the workforce shortage and shares ideas on how to engage and enhance your employees’ experiences.
