The Voices of Care survey reveals the transitions nurses experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic and how these changes have affected various aspects of healthcare. The focus of this article is on core nursing staff (permanent nurses) and their characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors compared to travel and per diem staff. The survey, conducted by Medical Solutions, found that core nursing staff choose permanency for the following reasons:
- Being with family
- A consistent income
- Working with the same team
- Patient care
- Appropriate staffing levels
- Healthy work-life balance
Recently, SIA spoke with Medical Solutions’ CNO Patti Artley about the survey findings to get her insight on how healthcare facilities can care for their core staff. Learn what surprised Patti the most from the survey findings in the SIA article.
On Thursday, August 3, Patti Artley will present for SDAHO members during the session, Turning the Tides of Nursing: Recruitment and Retention Strategies. To register and learn more, click here.
