Hello Brandy!
I appreciate your post regarding this book review. It is truly unfortunate that this is how the nursing culture has come to be, but yet, I do not disagree with any of the points you brought up. “The top five nursing units experiencing turnovers are step down, behavioral health, emergency, telemetry, and intensive care,” was a fact that I was not surprised to hear. Some individuals may not see how the stipulations that are brought upon behind the scenes of these units can be exhausting not only physically, but mentally, leading to burnout and even hostility between workplace relationships due to lack of solutions. The statement where you said, “Numerous studies have reported burnout and workplace relationships as factors in deciding to leave. Nurse managers play a critical role in employee satisfaction and professional growth,” is a statement that I can relate to. I am currently a nurse in behavioral health and we have been short staffed, liked every other unit, since the beginning of the pandemic. There has been numerous work place issues between staff members and in my opinion, a lack of stability within our team. Individuals feel a lack of support and I agree that it does start with leadership. Now I am not saying that my director or boss is to be at fault, but the system as a whole is flawed in increasing nursing retention because we do not feel heard when issues arise and are brought to attention. The book that you reviewed in this post is a great start for individual leaders to take a gander at to solidify a team and encourage others. With the nursing burnout and lack of support, nurses want to be felt that they are heard and see active solutions being brought to fruition.

Hello,
This is an interesting observation. I would think that facilities with formal programs are going to yield better interprofessional relationships because there is more structure. Smaller community hospitals might not feel the need to develop formal programs because they have less staff, less patients, etc. However, it is unfortunate that this happens because it does cause a gap in care. I believe this observation can be applied to other roles in the medical field, not just APPs.
Thank you for your post!
