Celebrating Nurses and Nurse Leaders
Now is the time to use the spotlight on the nursing workforce to make positive, lasting change.
In the face of unimaginable challenges, why do nurses stay?
The past year brought more discouraging news about the pandemic’s continued detrimental effects on already overburdened nurses, and the data show it:
- 40% of RNs surveyed in Medscape Nurse Career Satisfaction Report 2021 indicated that the pandemic decreased their satisfaction with nursing
- 32% of RNs are considering leaving direct patient care, according to McKinsey & Company

Teamwork and Team Leaders Make the Difference in Retaining, Supporting Nurses
Making nurses want to stay is important, of course, for nurses’ job satisfaction and for the positive effects on patient outcomes. But there’s more at stake in retaining nurses. Turnover negatively affects care quality and the healthcare organization’s financial well-being under value-based payment models.
Here’s how nurse managers create positive work environments.
Meaningful Recognition for Nurse Managers: The Time is Now!
The pandemic has taken its toll on healthcare professionals, having a negative impact on retention of nurse managers and other leaders. While we cannot fix the structural issues of this role, we can start by acknowledging their vital role in healthcare.
The DAISY Foundation, AONL, and symplr have launched a significant initiative we call Beyond Gratitude: A Tribute to Nurse Managers.
Initial Steps for Effective Nurse Manager Succession Planning
Nurses at all levels are leaving their jobs in alarming numbers in the wake of the ongoing pandemic. Among nurse managers and nurse leaders specifically, 20% say they’re considering leaving or will leave their profession.
This begs the question: What would be the reaction at your healthcare organization following the resignation or retirement of a key nurse manager who supervises patient-care teams?
