Get ready to meet the nurse resident who penned an essay that caught the attention of Grammy award winning singer, Michael Buble. Her words about why she loves working and caring for patients at University Health won the HOLLIBLU Strive to Thrive Award.
Three guess which Canadian crooner surprised University Health with an amazing award. It’s Michael Buble and he’s honoring UH nurses with an award from nursing app @hollibluapp
Hospitals: We care about your wellness and safety.
Also Hospitals: If you have Covid you need to come in and we will assign you to Covid patients. If you don’t you will face disciplinary action.
THIS IS NOT LEADERSHIP

@RhondaCNO@JLittlejohn_RN @RNRebeccaLove @jenwallacern I think the key to a successful gig model is maintaining nurse culture. We are a “team” profession so it’s important to maintain that component when thinking about gig work. #ANursesVoice
Nurses were treated like the canary in the mine at the beginning of this pandemic. Not enough PPE, unsafe work conditions, and now they are being asked to go back to work COVID positive. WTF?! #ANursesVoice
Today we are giving the very first HOLLIBLU Strive to Thrive award to a hospital that was nominated by their staff for creating a safe, sustainable and supportive environment for their workforce. #ANursesVoice
#ANursesVoice Having adequate ancillary support is imperative to nurses being able to sustain this profession. Hiring break nurses, LVNs, CNAs, lift teams, transport teams will help nurses be able to do the work they signed up to do.
Unlike some other professions in healthcare, we signed up to be WITH patients 12 hours a day. Unless we are positioned to provide SAFE patient care, nurses will continue to leave at alarming rates. #ANursesVoice
Home health and Hospice nurses are leaving because of the ridiculous amount of charting required by Medicare. You spend all day traveling to see patients and then come home to do hours of charting (unpaid). #ANursesVoice
@realRhondaManns Agreed! Having ancillary support is imperative to nurses being able to sustain this profession. Hiring break nurses, LVNs, CNAs, lift teams, transport teams will help nurses be able to do the work they signed up to do. #ANursesVoice
