Present wait times at hospitals and clinics are nothing compared to the potential situation awaiting us if more nurses leave the Lowcountry. On average, a nurse attends to 8-10k patients annually, but with the escalating local nursing shortage, numerous patients, including you or your loved ones, might go without care. While the need for nurses has been critical over the past few years, with tens of thousands of residents expected to join our communities over the next few years, the growing nurse shortage is taking on a new urgency. Let's unite to give nurses a compelling reason to stay. Our Initiative, housed at the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, offers an incentive to nurses who remain employed in Beaufort and Jasper County, and was created to improve our healthcare system. We desperately need to grow our Nurse workforce to provide additional Health Care both now, and as our population continues to rise in numbers.

In the May 2024 Sentinel article, I highlight the Oregon State Board of Nursing organizational value of "Simplicity" to reduce barriers to clear communication and streamline processes. Since my tenure at OSBN, we have worked to improve our customer service and address licensee concerns. OSBN’s Communication methods have needed to be improved since data systems were changed in 2022. To rectify this, we are pleased to reinstate license renewal reminders for 30-60-90 days via direct email outside our database. This step is a testament to our commitment to our organizational value, Simplicity, reducing barriers to clear communication and and streamlined processes. The Full Spring 2024 issue covers various topics such as Professional Identity in Nursing Excellence, RN pay in Oregon, Accreditation in Nursing Education, CNA certification, Oregon's Psilocybin Services Program, Workplace Bullying, and highlights from the February 2024 Board Meetings.

[CLOSING THE NURSING GAP via ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SOLUTIONS] One of the largest contributing factors to the lack of #healthequity is a lack of services, which can put people at higher risk for poor health outcomes. An ongoing shortage of #nurses, in particular, has reached a critical point in the U.S. and especially in Southern states. Read how the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation partnered with #communities, #HBCUs, and other partners to develop innovative solutions--an effort that has helped to halve Louisiana's anticipated nursing gap by 2030.

Just another Manic Monday? A study in the July issue of the AORN Journal looks at how busy operating rooms are on different days of the week. The research looks back at data to see if there were any differences in how much ORs are used each day. The study also explores why this might happen and how much it costs the hospital. ? Mondays had the highest OR utilization rate (The overall average was 69.1% daily). ? Mondays saved the day in terms of late starts---the fewest minutes lost were on Mondays. ? Thursdays and Fridays tended to be the villains of efficiency. Takeaway: Perioperative leaders hold the compass to success. By monitoring OR utilization and identifying sources of variability, they can help chart the course towards consistency, slashing costs, and amplifying revenue. We want to know---are Mondays the busiest days at your facilities? How do you maximize OR utilization across the week?

It is impossible to imagine a world without them, yet often their role is underestimated. As all their days are dedicated to caring for people, today we, the people, have the opportunity to show our care and words of appreciation for them because today is ?????????????????????????? ???????????? ??????! But is the purpose of International Nurses Day just about saying “thank you, nurses”? This year’s theme, OUR NURSES = OUR FUTURE, THE ECONOMIC POWER OF CARE tells us it’s more than that. Nurses are not just healthcare providers; it goes beyond that. They play a central role in health outcomes and the economic stability of societies. Changing our perceptions and strategic investment in nursing can bring economic and social benefits like improved patient outcomes, reduced hospitalisation times and overall healthcare savings. We believe International Day of Nursing is a day to recognise nursing as an important investment in the future healthcare and also a day to say THANK YOU! #IND2024 #Nursing #InternationalNursingDay #Caregivers #Nurses

"We as leaders need to own the work environment. Equipping [nurse managers] with better tools to be in that role, because they weren't trained to be in that role" - Melanie Heuston, CNE at WVU Medicine "It's also [about] connecting within the community and just bringing awareness and being open to having the dialogue about what you need individually,"?- Gloria Carter, VP & CNO at Dignity Health Within the current state of nursing, both nurse leaders discuss the difficulties of nurse retention/recruitment and the prioritization of a strong work-life culture.

As you know the healthcare industry has been going through some turmoil over the past few years. Yet, even so, many nurses remain in the profession.

Believe it or not, we always have a choice, we may not like the choices we have but they are there.
