Work Environment Plays Key Role in RN Jobs Search

Monday, December 12th, 2011

Nurse workplace quality reflects on patient outcomes

Once thought to be a reliable measure of patient care and satisfaction, nurse-patient ratios may no longer be the prime indicator they once were. Emerging evidence suggests nurse work environments play an increasing role in quality patient outcomes, along with nurses’ perception of the type of facility they work in.

For instance, a survey published recently in Medpage Today* indicates that nurses who work in Magnet facilities perceive the levelhappy travel nurses of care they provide to patients as being higher than nurses who don’t. In large part, said 50 States Staffing Recruitment Vice President, Mary Kay Hull, Magnet hospitals work hard at reducing nurse turnover by improving the quality of nursing life in the workplace.

“These exclusive hospitals tend to promote a high level of communication between nurses and doctors, deploy advanced medical technologies and are receptive to nurse input. Magnet facilities keep a close eye on nurse staffing burnout and typically offer health and wellness programs to enhance RN jobs satisfaction,” she said.

The nurse workplace is under scrutiny as of late, said Hull, with hospitals, academics and institutions all looking at ways to improve patient care levels by enhancing working conditions. One study, published in the Journal of Nursing Management, ** connects poor nurse work environments with low levels of job satisfaction, poor nurse outcomes and high RN jobs turnover.

“Creating better support services, work flow with less complexity, a nurse work environment that supports autonomous nursing practice and nurses who are committed to their care should be part of both rural and urban hospitals plans for change in order to recruit and retain nurses,” posts authors Marianne Baernholdt PhD, MPH, RN and Barbara A. Mark PhD, RN, FAAN in the study.

Hull’s company specializes in placing RNs with a track record of success in Florida travel nursing jobs, in particular at Magnet facilities. The Sunshine State is a popular destination for nurses looking to avoid Seasonal Affective Disorder common to cold weather states.

“50 States staffs one of the largest health systems in Florida and more than nine Magnet facilities across the state, including popular destinations Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg. Nurses in search of hot RN jobs in ‘Paradise’ better get cracking, because travel nursing jobs are filling up fast,” she said.

Get Tips for Staying in Shape During Your Travel Nurse Career

50 States Staffing unanimously agrees that R.N.s who stay fit and healthy make the most of their travel nursing experience; site-seeing, after all, requires a lot of get up and go, and with high paying physical therapy jobs and travel nurse jobs in all 50 U.S. states there is much to hike, jog to—perhaps even swim to; but even if you’re more the “indoors” type, getting the right amount of daily exercise is paramount to looking, feeling and performing at your best.

travel nursing careerAccording to The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) moderate exercise, when people do it daily for no less than 30 minutes throughout their young adulthood and into middle-age plays a vital role in minimizing weight gain, especially in women. The study followed more than 3,500 men and women for 20 years, citing high activity levels as the reason the female test subjects avoided a weight gain of 13.4 pounds per year. The men in the study weighed 5.7 pounds less than their inactive peers, giving fresh insight into the middle-aged spread; perhaps it’s not inevitable—though a related study on exercise and fitness did warn delaying regular exercise until middle-age, even at 30+ minutes a day, was not enough to reduce age-related weight gain.
