Pay us more, let us wear what we want, staff us appropriately and for gods sake feed the night shift. It really isn’t that hard to improve nursing retention. Y’all hospitals just don’t want to.

A dress code is important. People make their first impression in the first 10-15 seconds. It’s important our sick patients have confidence in us. Dress like a professional and you can expect to be treated like one.

I will never understand, why hospitals stopped staffing night shift. If there ever is a crew who deserves a hot meal and 30 minutes to re-group it is not shift.This happened decades ago. We had a fabulous noc shift cook. Cops came for her food. Hospital said nope bring your own.

I have always felt that on site childcare would solve a lot of staffing issues also! And make it a perk of employment … ie DONT CHARGE FOR DAYCARE

Stop making essential workers pay for parking at work!!
Our hospital presently has a waiting list for paid parking, so, at the moment, driving to and parking at work isn't an option

the top suggestion for retention that wouldn't cost a hospital anything...zero tolerance policy to abuse (verbal and mental included), from family or patients

Completely agree. Nurses give a lot of themselves physically and emotionally every shift. They deserved to be treated well, it’s not like nurses ask for much. Being short staffed constantly is unsafe and promotes burnout.

It amazes me that hospitals haven't learned that retention is more cost effective than hiring new staff.

I’d rather a nurse who knows what they are doing and can save a life that one decked out in fancy scrubs and 10 lbs of gold and not have a clue.
And feed the night nurses. Vending machines don’t cut it
