Healthcare settings often need to work extra hard to attract and keep quality nurses during today’s nursing shortage.
We asked our Facebook community what benefit most draws them to a new position. View their answers and see below for a word cloud of the response:
Nurses, tell us—what job benefit is a must-have?
I believe the best & most important qualities and benefits of a new job are:
1. Affability and support from management all the way up to the C-level Suites.
2. Benefit package as a whole including salary options.
3. Appropriate staffing and scheduling of nursing and other supportive services.
Great insight, Patricia– thanks for sharing!
I would add that, if possible, I’d negotiate certain special off days. You can never be too detailed in negotiating your new work lifestyle.
Great point, Kateri! It’s much better to communicate and negotiate your job requirements right from the start.
