Tough Demands on Nurses Adversely Affect Patients

Better working conditions and better staffing of nurses can significantly improve the care of patients with serious conditions, according to the latest nurse labor study by the University of Maryland School of Nursing.

Several troubling trends in patient outcomes surfaced as researchers analyzed survey data from 633 nurses in 71 hospitals in North Carolina and Illinois concerning patient outcomes, says lead investigator Alison Trinkoff, ScD, FAAN.

For example, pneumonia deaths were significantly more likely in hospitals where nurses reported increased psychological demands and more adverse work schedules. Trinkoff says they measured high psychological demands by very fast work, lack of time to complete work, excessive required work, being slowed by delays from other workers, and frequent interruptions. Another trend was that patients were more likely to develop deep vein thrombosis after surgery in hospitals where nurses reported high psychological demands. Staffing also was controlled in the analysis, so that the effects occurred independent of staffing.

To Receive our inspirational stories as we post them subscribe to our mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to inspirationalstories-subscribe@topica.com


You can find them at the bedside
With shot to kill the pain
You can find them passing bedpans
They do this without disdain
As they share with you compassion
Always hoping for your gain
There're dwindling away.
 

California Needs more nurses
HMO's have filled their Purses
Now were really in the Lurches..
We're dwindling away
 

She is working extra hours
He is working extra days
Tryin' to keep a nurse beside you
As you struggle thru this maze
If they had an extra minute
They would take a coffee break
Like other people do.
 

New York City Needs more nurses
HMO's have filled their Purses
Now were really in the Lurches..
Where has the money gone?

We are told were are an item
Like the linen or the lights
We must work under conditions
Never mentioning our rights
If we try to buck the system
A New Grad will be your plight
so we keep hanging on.

Carolina Needs more nurses
HMO's have filled their Purses
Now were really in the Lurches
How long will this go on!

When you think about your nurses
Let your voices ring out clear
they are trying to protect you
From the system, and they fear
You will be in worse condition
from the shorgages we face
and it sould not be so...

Arizona Needs more nurses,
HMO's have filled their purses
Puts us really in the Lurches
and it should not be so!

Copywrite 1999

When Nurse Staffing Drops, Mortality Rates Rise: Study

When nurse staffing levels fell below target levels in a large hospital, more patients died, a new study discovered.

The finding may provide guidance in an era of nursing shortages and cost-cutting, in that the focus should shift from cost to patient safety, said the authors of the research, appearing in the March 17 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

"Hospitals need to know what their nursing needs are for their patients, and they need to bring staffing into line," said study senior author Jack Needleman, a professor of health services at the School of Public Health of the University of California Los Angeles.

"Patients are entitled to be safe in the hospital and to have care delivered reliably and to have nurses with enough time to make sure they aren't developing avoidable complications with permanent consequences," Needleman said.

101 Blog Posts Every New Nurse Should Read Nurse Practitioner Schools

Nursing requires almost superhuman strength, stamina, and compassion. And due to its nature, none involved in the profession practice in a vacuum. Both students and recent graduates preparing to enter into their studies or career should look to the experiences of their predecessors for information and inspiration. Some have plenty to say about the profession and their particular specializations. Others prefer discussing the education and exams that lead into a nursing career. And still others take to activism and patient advocacy to ensure the needs of the community and their patients are met. All of them have valuable perspectives to offer those starting to dip their comfortable shoe-clad toes into the field.

1. “Uh oh” at code blog

One nurse shares her very first professional experience after graduating, which involves how she dealt with a patient’s relentless requests for excessive pain medication. Those new to nursing ought to ponder over the myriad different patients they will encounter in their careers.

2. “Flight Nurse: A Life of Training and Trauma” at CRZEGRL, FLIGHT NURSE

This guest post by John C. Lee, Jr., SRN reflects upon the responsibilities and experiences of working as a nurse on Lifeflight helicopters. It is one possible career path for nursing students and recent graduates to consider.

3. “The Travel Nursing Cost of Living Calculator” at TravelNursingBlogs.com

The #1 stressful thing about being a nurse, Scrubsmag.com

So, we all know there are a million things that ‘stress’ us out during our shifts. Do I really need to list them? Here are just a few that come to mind:

Causes of Stress

  • Inadequate staffing
  • Nurse-to-staff ratio overload (does the word unsafe come to mind)
  • Lack of teamwork
  • Lack of effective and fair management
  • Coworker strain
  • Paperwork
  • Endless charting – repeating information on multiple forms
  • Miscommunication or the lack of communication
  • Census overload and strain (revolving door of admissions and discharges)
  • No time to even use the bathroom

Don't bring stress home with you, Scrubsmag.com

As a nurse, I don’t think we will ever be able to eliminate stress. I think a certain amount of stress is expected in our line of work. I mean, let’s get real. We’re in the business of saving, and improving the quality of lives here. Stress is just part of the game.

But, just like an athlete playing a ‘game’, we need to leave it all on the field. Yeah, it’s a loose analogy, but it goes a long way. Athletes leave it all on the field and we nurses should leave it all at work.

Bringing stress-related issues home with you just compounds the original problem(s). We have a tendency to take that high-octane paced environment and just keep on driving until we drive it on home. Then you’re ‘wired for sound’ for your significant other or family member. You end up being unpleasant and short-fused with persons who really have nothing to do with your stress. Yet, these are the people that usually have to figure out how to deal with it? So then your level of stress gets even higher since you have no solution.

Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA's National Campaign to Solve the Nurse Staffing Crisis

Nurses everywhere rank staffing as their biggest problem. Research shows it is a problem – for patients: Insufficient nurse staffing is linked with poorer patient outcomes, lengthened hospital stays and increased chance of patient death.

ANA’s Solution to Staffing

ANA advocates solving the problem by requiring hospitals to set nurse staffing plans for each hospital unit based on changing conditions:

  • Patient acuity (severity of illness)
  • Patient numbers
  • Nurse skills and experience
  • Support staff
  • Technology

Are 12-hour shifts safe? Donna Cardillo, MA, RN - American Nurse Today

Are 12-hour shifts safe?

Donna Cardillo, MA, RN

 

12-hour shifts have become the norm in hospitals and most nurses love them. One can work 3 days and have 4 days off, there is one less major shift change to contend with, and patients have fewer names and faces to get acclimated to in a 24-hour period. It all makes sense on the surface.

 

But is working 12 consecutive hours in a fast-paced, high stress, physically and mentally demanding environment a good idea? Does it support the clear judgment, quick thinking and reflexes, and life and death decisions that we must make in the acute care setting?

 

I know a few nurses who do three 12-hour shifts a week, at least two of the shifts on two consecutive days. Some nurses do three consecutive 12s. Factor in commuting time, shift transition (it can sometimes take 1-2 extra hours to actually finish up), time to get ready for work—never mind making time (if at all) for family or self and they’re lucky to get 5-6 hours of sleep if that. Compound that with the fact that many nurses no longer take meal breaks or even short breaks during their shift to rest and refresh because they believe they don’t have the time or they don’t make the time. This is a recipe for disaster.

5 retired VA nurses sue federal agency - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Five retired, part-time government nurses claim in a class-action federal lawsuit that the Office of Personnel Management refuses to properly calculate benefits for former Veterans Affairs nurses unless they hire lawyers.

Sylvia Wigton, 79, of Butler and Gail G. Hudson, 73, of West Grove, Chester County, filed the lawsuit along with Audrey L. Gorgonzola, 75, of Boise, Idaho, Kathryn Daane, 75, of Sturgis, S.D., and Dolores Vassalluzzo, 69, of Oceanside, Calif.

The VA started offering an incentive in the 1950s that gave part-time nurses credit for full-time work on their pensions, the lawsuit says. The agency needed the incentive to get enough skilled nurses willing to work part-time hours on irregular schedules so that veterans hospitals around the country could maintain full nursing staffs, the lawsuit says.

When the nurses retired, however, the Office of Personnel Management refused to give them full-time credit for the years they worked part-time, the lawsuit says.

A federal administrative law judge in 2008 upheld a claim by 160 retired VA nurses and the agency recalculated those retirees’ benefits as well as another 215 who hired lawyers to press their claims, but it has made no attempt to identify and recalculate the benefits for other retired VA nurses and has ignored claims some retirees filed on their own behalf without a lawyer, the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit seeks a court order requiring the agency to identify and recalculate the benefits for each retired VA nurse that was promised the incentive.

So to get your promised retirements benefits, you have to sue after decades of faithful service to our veterans?

Jonas Center Quantifies Impact of Nursing Faculty Shortage | All Sites Nursing News

The shortage of nurse educators could affect the care of millions of patients, according to estimates by the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence.

Each nurse educator position left unfilled could impact healthcare for 3.6 million patients, according to the report. Schools with baccalaureate nursing programs have about 900 faculty vacancies, with thousands more likely to arise in the next 15 years.

Darlene Curley, RN, MS, executive director of the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence, and Christine Kovner, RN, PhD, FAAN, professor at New York University College of Nursing, developed a formula to measure the impact of nursing faculty vacancies on patients. They considered the average number of students taught by one faculty member and the number of patients cared for by a typical RN. They note that their estimates are conservative.

Nurse Recruitment and Retention: Can New Nursing Grads Find Work?

When I was speaking at a hospital, talking to recently recruited nurses, I heard their frustrations in not being able to work in the area of their choice.

Indeed, where once nursing grads could essentially get their first choices and select from several attractive job opportunities, some looking to enter our profession have had to settle for a position different from their goals.

Wise new grads will take this job, giving the best care possible as team player. When the recession ends and cut backs are eased, they can transfer into their position of choice.

Health reform will bring need for more nurses in Oklahoma | NewsOK.com

More Oklahomans could soon hear: “The nurse will see you now.”

The prescription for hospitals and doctors' offices, which will get even busier as health care reform brings millions more people to their doorsteps, may be highly trained nurses with greater authority.

Those nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and be full partners with doctors as health care reform collides with an aging population and a reduction in primary care doctors, according to the Institute of Medicine and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

“This is such a historic, monumental prescription for change,” said Marvel Williams, the dean of the nursing school at Oklahoma City University.

“I know there will be some people out there among other health care professions, particularly, who are a bit nervous about the role nurses are expected to take, based on these recommendations.”

Learn How Nursing Leadership Skills can Empower You American Sentinel University White Papers

There's a chronic problem in the nursing profession: a sense of powerlessness. It creates job dissatisfaction, stress, and burnout. It can lead to ineffective nursing that compromises patient safety or the nurse's role as patient advocate. And it's incompatible with today's increasing emphasis on multi-disciplinary care teams, where collaboration is key.

Fortunately, there's a positive trend toward workplace practices that empower nurses. And there are ways for staff nurses to learn to step up and become facilitators of change.

Learn how you can start empowering yourself to effect change - and better patient outcomes - even if you're not in a management position. In this paper, "Powerlessness is Bad Practice: Any Nurse can be a Facilitator of Change," Catherine Garner, DrPH, MSN, MPA, RN, FAAN, Provost and Dean of Health and Nursing Sciences at American Sentinel University, outlines:

Why Do 18% of New Nurses Quit Their First Jobs? Nurse Recruitment and Retention:

I just learned about the RN Work Project (www.RNWorkProject.org) that will track careers among newly licensed registered nurses.

With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation until 2016, they’ll study RN work careers for 10 years.

 

To understand the supply of and demand for nurses, it is critical that we understand the needs and challenges of new RNs. This study examines the first work settings of newly licensed registered nurses to learn what influences their first job choice and where they move afterward.

 

About 18% of newly licensed RNs leave their first nursing job within a year of starting, and 26% leave within 2 years. Of these, about 92% take another nursing job with a different employer.

 

This study is crucial for nurse recruitment and retention.

 

Please leave a comment below sharing your thoughts on what can be done to retain nurses.

 

(Tune in every Monday to LeAnn Thieman's Nurse Recruitment and Retention column the home page.)

Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur, By Carolyn Zaumeyer:"Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, ARNP is a graduate of Florida International University and President and Owner of Women's Health Watch, Inc. Over seven years ago Carolyn ventured into independent nursing practice. When planning her new practice, she did a literature review and was unable to locate any resource material to guide the nurse practitioner in developing her practice. While she was putting together her new venture, she was also keeping detailed notes, hoping that eventually she would be able to help other nurse practitioners interested in independent practice. In 1995 she published the book, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur: How to Establish and Operate an Independent Practice - a reference and resource manual." This book has enjoyed national sales over the years, and many universities and colleges have utilized it as a text. It is now available for sale at our Website, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur". It continues to guide and instruct nurse practitioners on how to establish, organize, and operate an independent nursing practice. Email Carolyn."

Defining Nurse Practitioner Scope Of Practice:"Nurse Practitioners have demonstrated the ability to provide care to many underserved groups, such as children, women, migrant workers, the homeless, and the elderly in nontraditional settings, such as schools, work sites, and health departments. Although multiple studies have documented the high quality of care and cost-effectiveness of APNs, these nurses remain an under-utilized resource. 2 Schools of Nursing are investing significant resources for preparation of NPs and NPs are graduating in record numbers. Globally, there are increasing opportunities for nurses with advanced practice skills. It becomes imperative to resolve the scope of practice issues for NPs to gain the needed public support to expand their role to meet much needed primary care services. 3 Yet restrictive practice environments continue to limit their efficient use both nationally and internationally."
