 Hello here and lurking this evening #WeNurses

 @schoolnurse17 Hi Jane - nice to see you #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
12 September 2019 20:04
 This was shared earlier in the week ... a research project at Bournemouth re retention #WeNurses https://twitter.com/bjgw/status/1171480981280182272

 Are you ready for QUESTION 1 ? Why do nurses leave organisations / leave the nursing profession? #WeNurses https://t.co/A6wMMidMyi
@VictoriaWDaley
12 September 2019 20:05
 Hi all. So retention is an interesting one. Clearly it is something that every organisation aspires to do well by ensuring staff feel valued and developed, thus ensuring that they have pride in their work and deliver great care. #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
12 September 2019 20:06
 Was interested to see their approach - TRACs ... though do think we need more than this ! #WeNurses https://t.co/HDJxzpiQx6

@AgencyNurse
12 September 2019 20:09
 I think retention is perhaps not just about the things that people say ... good pay, great support, learning and career opportunities, but also about added extras .... #WeNurses
@dobdob86
12 September 2019 20:10
 @WeNurses Stress, lack of support, lack of opportunity and flexible working are the main reasons that I’ve come across over two trusts #wenurses
@XMcVey
12 September 2019 20:11
 @WeNurses I think nurses often leave looking for other opportunities. With what used to be LBR funding being scarce I think people search for organisations that might have better access to it #wenurses
@AgencyNurse
12 September 2019 20:11
 .. for example my son has a job where they provide him with breakfast and lunch free of charge ... really simple thing but he feels valued and has stayed as a result ! #WeNurses

 Flexible working is a biggy .. and that inflexibility can lead to added stress #WeNurses https://twitter.com/dobdob86/status/1172225979701506048
@XMcVey
12 September 2019 20:12
 I also think lack of flexibility in rotas, shift patterns etc can be a big contributor for leaving #WeNurses

@XMcVey
12 September 2019 20:14
 @WeNurses I think a good manager role models what they want their workforce to be doing, is approachable but fair and understands the need to be firm sometimes. I want a manager who has high standards and allows space for innovation, encouragement for staff to develop #wenurses
@WeNurses

12 September 2019 20:17
 @WeNurses I’ve been fortunate to do two different fellowship roles within my organisation and that certainly was a reason I came to the trust. It gave me space to consider different career pathways and get exposure to those roles without committing to a full time career change #wenurses
@keeling_michael
12 September 2019 20:18
 @wlasinclair @AgencyNurse Seemingly small gestures can really make the difference to feeling valued.. or not. #wenurses

 @WeNurses #WeNurses development opportunities without our trust to undertake further education to become a specialist practitioner, excellent support from our team leader, caring team!
@VictoriaWDaley
12 September 2019 20:21
 @WeNurses Generally it is not about pay or flexible working. More so about recognition of skills & potential for development. Lots of focus exists on newly qualified but important that more experienced nurses are given opportunities to develop their leadership capability further. #WeNurses
@C_Coulson90
12 September 2019 20:23

 @WeNurses I agree, these are two different questions. Leaving an organisation doesn’t have to be negative, it could be for career or personal progression (moving areas); however people may leave nursing because they feel undervalued, lack of autonomy or increased stress. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses Wealth of experience in those that have/want to retire. This knowledge and experience needs to be harnessed wherever possible by offering flexible opportunities #wenurses

12 September 2019 20:30
 @WeNurses Q2. Not sure if innovative, but I personally took an opportunity for a very part time second role alongside clinical role. I get to use a broader range of skills I know I have and it's very rewarding (wellbeing wise, not financially). #WeNurses

 @knitknitqueen @AgencyNurse Yeah I’ve been lucky with that. I sometimes think it’s better to let someone take a secondment opportunity and be encouraged to develop and ultimately might want to return. Or make you feel like you’re not valued so leave anyway #wenurses

12 September 2019 20:32
 @VictoriaWDaley @WeNurses I agree and think flexibility is the key here ... where I do bank work (not NHS but a care home) we have a 73 year old nurse, she only works the evening short shift and only once a week ... but she is ace ... the care home are so flexible #WeNurses

12 September 2019 20:34
 @CalvinMoorley @WeNurses it is crazy we have reached this point, it was even more crazy to make individuals pay for their own tuition, so how do we fill the shortfall? let's face it we are all getting older and as we get older we move a little away from the front facing roles #WeNurses

 @WeNurses A thought... Organisation should learn from each other, I’m sure there are some wonderful incentives across the country, for retention of staff. These need to be shared so that organisations can learn and implement - We have individual organisations but we are one NHS. #WeNurses

 @CalvinMoorley @AgencyNurse @Csage110 @WeNurses @C_Carmichael83 More complicated than that I think. Women fight to get leadership positions. Even in nursing, men will be promoted over them. When there, women worry about rocking the boat & costing themselves their security & position. Being a radical can come at huge personal cost. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses Great question. I think it entirely depends on how the Nurse feels for being fit to do the job role and what the employer can offer if a change is needed. My clinical role is physical. I cannot imagine my parents (in early 70s) being able to do a 10hr shift in theatres #wenurses

 @WeNurses There is loads of work happening that supports this where I work. A Health&Wellbeing Strategy and a proactive Freedom to Speak Up Guardian! All support a Safety Culture which we expect will lead to improved morale, less turnover, happier staff, safer care, happier pts #WeNurses

 @theresahorne748 @wlasinclair @AgencyNurse @Cahill_Lou @WeNurses @C_Carmichael83 Aww that makes me happy! A care home really doesn’t need to be so formal ! Gives older people something else to think about and talk about #WeNurses

 @Csage110 @wlasinclair @AgencyNurse @Cahill_Lou @WeNurses @C_Carmichael83 Exactly. It's meant to be a home, not a hospital. The kids join in crafts, gardening, music events or simply chat away. Even as a nightshift nurse my children as known to staff from just popping in during the day to say hello #wenurses

 @carolgair @WeNurses TY for stating this Carol . I also know too many colleagues who didn't get to their retirement and that's part of my motivation for asking for more to be done about staff health&wellbeing. We're people, not robots, there's evidence about how shiftwork affects health. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses The fact that management are quick to offer criticism and hide behind unworkable policy whilst the nurses giving valuable face to face feel disillusioned and scared for their registrations through sheer weight of expectation. We are working in a time of fear. #wenurses
