illennials will soon comprise
50% of the nursing workforce.
They are sometimes criticized
for lacking commitment because they
change jobs more often than their older
counterparts. Yet research finds patients
are safer when nurses are satisfied
with their work environments, so
it would seem that newer nurses and
nurse managers are onto something.
A study from the University of PennM
sylvania
School of Nursing based
on data from 2,677 hospitals and
165,024 nurses found that better work
environments reduced the odds of negative
nurse job outcomes, poor safety
and quality ratings, and negative patient
outcomes.
Millennial nurse managers are
poised to fill leadership roles vacated
by retiring OR leaders, and a recent
study sheds light on the values and
expectations of these emerging leaders.
Researchers interviewed 25 Millennial
nurse managers across the US about
their roles, most of whom (92%) work in
not-for profit hospitals.
Some of the key findings are:
* Supervisors play a pivotal role in
identifying leadership potential and
grooming new managers by giving
them additional responsibilities.
* Variation in orientation and mentorship
puts some new managers in a
" learning as I go " position.
* Having support from directors is important
for new managers' job satisfaction.
*
New managers view staff satisfaction
as key to retention and patient
satisfaction.
* New managers consider their ability
to help staff succeed as an indicator
of their own professional success.
* Unexpected additions to responsibilities
create significant challenges in
managing change.
* Maintaining balance is hard because
new managers make themselves
available to staff 24/7.
" Millennial nurse managers are looking
to current nurse leaders to guide,
mentor, and assist them to navigate
their role and fill in the gaps, " the study
authors say. " This research suggests
that organizations without formal leadership
development processes run the
risk of sending mixed messages of support
to these young managers. "
When asked what advice they would
give potential new leaders, interviewees
recommended clarifying expectations
and support variables before accepting
a management position.
This advice dovetails with recruitment
strategies presented in a threepart
series that kicks off in this issue
(p 21). A two-part article on retention
begins in the October issue. We hope
all of these articles will help fill staff
and leadership gaps with competent
and committed individuals. ✥
