@AlaynaTousigna1 Great article on how being mindful can improve your work and patient outcomes. Focusing on the patient's breathing is a great point b/c the pulse ox doesn't tell us if the patient is retracting, pursing lips, etc. #NR4031218

@WillTweetForBSN @WorldSepsisDay Working in the ED I see sepsis almost everyday. This is why having good Sepsis protocol is SO important. All nurses should know danger signs such as tachycardia, fever, low BP, and possible source of infection. #NR4031218

This article discusses the importance of guiding new grad nurses and preventing new nurse turnover. "Stories from the bedside" sound like a great way to help new grads vent/share experiences and feel supported in their new role. #NR4031218

RT @Campaign4Action: Nurse residency programs in St. Louis are working to reduce turnover by combining traditional job orientation sessions with continuing education, group support, and mentorship. https://t.co/5KKz4VNBDg #nursing

@gagnewest1 Love the idea of giving patients a sleep menu and recording their sleep on the whiteboard, it lets them know we are thinking about their comfort. I hate to say that often, a lot of noise in the unit is caused by staff #NR4031218

@WinckelJessica I think narcan education would really benefit our community! I've wondered why healthcare providers aren't allowed to carry Narcan with them b/c I can imagine it would have a positive effect (similar to using BLS in the field)

@Michell44082249 The ER I work in would share these results as well. Its concerning to think about a higher number of pt's leaving b/c some of those pt's might have contagious illnesses (like shingles) that can then infect more of the population. We need nurses!!

Its scary to see this percentage only a few months before we enter the workforce as brand new nurses. Awareness is the first step to stopping nurse bullying and making the phrase "nurses eat their young" a thing of the past. #NR4031218

It's National Bullying Prevention Month. 60% of new nurses leave a first position within 6 months due to workplace bullying! https://t.co/kY4NeElxwt

Such a good idea to help ensure patients are listened to and properly treated. #NR4031218

Can adding chairs to hospital rooms solve overtreatment in health care? https://t.co/K7OE2fvmKj
