They can certainly help, according to this CNE. Recruitment and retention are particularly difficult right now in healthcare, especially in nursing.

When clinical nurses raise questions, whether it’s about patient safety, staffing, protocols or other topics, nursing leaders need to be attentive.

Or worse, clinical nurses feel as though leaders don’t want to hear their thoughts. “What we need to do as nurse leaders – and especially nurse managers – is be thankful for the people who are raising comments, asking questions, willi
