Publication Alert! In this article, higher levels of nurses' caring ability were associated with better nursing care quality, a significant reduction in nurse-reported adverse events, and a decrease in instances of missed care. Organizational strategies directed toward promoting and enhancing nurse caring ability in the emergency department can have positive implications for nursing practice, including improved nursing care quality, reduced adverse events, and decreased instances of missed care. #emergencynurse #caring #patientsafetyfirst

Celebrating Nursing Support Workers’ Day 💙 🎉 Today, we’re celebrating the vital contribution our 751 Health Care Assistants, 29 Nursing Associates, 16 Assistant Practitioners, 15 Nursery Nurses, seven Trainee Nursing Associates and Nursing Degree Apprentice make to our patient’s care. Nursing support workers are the bedrock of our wards, clinics and community teams. The term ’nursing support worker’ encompasses hundreds of different job titles and roles, including healthcare support workers, assistant practitioners, nursing associates and healthcare assistants.  They work independently, alongside registered nurses and as part of wider multidisciplinary teams in all health and social care settings.  Nursing support workers have a critical role to play in delivering high quality care and excellent outcomes for our patients, however their vital contributions can often go unnoticed. Today is about shining a light on their roles and their skills and to say thank you for the essential care they give every single day.  This year, the Royal College of Nursing - Company wanted to break down some of the preconceptions about nursing support workers and get to the heart of who they are, what they do and why they’re essential to the nursing workforce. You can read more about Nursing Support Workers’ Day on the Royal College of Nursing website. Healthcare Assistant, Emma Alexander was asked why she enjoys her role at BSMHFT. She said: “I have worked as a Health Care Assistant for the past seven years. Working as a Health Care Assistant can be incredibly fulfilling. The position requires empathy, patience and an in-depth knowledge of mental health. A fresh challenge and a chance to positively impact someone’s life arise everyday. I have so much satisfaction in helping someone in their hour of need and witnessing a patient make progress. “While there may be emotional toll it is worth it when you realise that you have improved someone’s life. It is a profession of hope.” #NursingSupportWorkersDay

Forces of Nursing! Nursing leaders from our Network including Jennie Magor, Christine Economos, Sina Amabili, Cara Flynn and Kate Hanly (L-R) attended the Nurse Force Summit in Sydney this week, to gain insights on how to keep our nursing workforce sustainable (aka ‘the backbone of Australia’s healthcare system’). The 2 day summit brought colleagues together from across Australia to hear about enhancing recruitment, strengthening retention and developing their staff to achieve excellent outcomes. There were many key take-aways, including: 🔵 40% of the nursing workforce has less than 4 years experience therefore it is imperative we support and guide the upcoming nurses through mentoring and peer support and listen to their feedback. 🔵 Culture trumps strategy - psychological safety is important to ensure we keep our junior and upcoming nurses as there are generational differences we need to consider. 🔵 Nurse led clinic models increase health access and improve health outcomes, whilst supporting nurses to work to their full scope of practice, improving job satisfaction and wellbeing, thereby decreasing staff turnover. 🔵 Transformational leadership is key to improved culture. 🔵 In 2025 we will have nationally a shortage of 85,000 nurses & by 2030 123,000 nurses. Thank you to our dedicated nursing workforce at WCHN and well done to everyone who attended the summit and gained new insights.

#SESSUS # Group 9 @2rd TASK. THE IMPORTANCE OF NURSING SCIENCE TO THE COMMUNITY .(RN,BSC Nursing science) Throughout the history of nursing, nurses have served their communities and continue to fill many essential roles in healthcare and population health. Nurses promote healthy lifestyles, advocate for patients and provide health education. They also provide direct patient care. As key members of healthcare teams, they provide our communities with the knowledge needed for healthy living. The exact roles of nurses have changed somewhat over the years, but their importance in healthcare remains strong and continues to grow. Overview of Historical Nursing Roles Caring for the sick has always been an important part of everyday life, but the evolution of the nursing profession into its current state is a more recent development. Until a century ago, medical knowledge was very primitive, but caregivers throughout history did what they could to provide comfort to seriously ill and dying people. In the 1800s, with multiple wars such as the Civil War and Crimean War causing injuries and spreading disease among soldiers and civilians alike, the nursing profession as we know it today began to develop. The modern hospital, growing knowledge of sanitation practices and other recent developments made it easier for nursing to make a meaningful difference to patient survival and health, which decisively shifted the role of nurses from comforters to healthcare professionals who provide evidence-based treatment and wellness education. Nursing Roles Today Nurses in the modern era do so much more than care for hospital patients at the bedside. In every aspect of healthcare, nurses work to provide education, promote healthy practices, share their expertise and help patients heal. Guiding patients and their families, nurses can provide people in a community with referrals for other services, resources and classes. Nurses also serve as leaders in healthcare facilities not only by managing departments but also by serving in other administrative positions. Many nurses are also teachers — from teaching diabetes education classes to lecturing at the university level. Serving patients and improving the health of our communities can lead nurses to pursue a wide variety of different roles. Nursing is still evolving. Demand for qualified nurses is growing in many regions across the country. Nurses are becoming more skilled and knowledgeable as nursing research and education continue to advance. The roles that nurses serve in healthcare are becoming even more significant. In the United States, the challenge of serving more patients and providing healthcare to underserved populations may increase the opportunities for nurses to become primary care providers. Around the world, nurses continue to make a difference for citizens and communities.
