History repeats itself despite the best intentions of those in the nursing profession. Once again there is an emerging shortage of nurses, and critical care units are particularly affected. The work environment in critical care and medical/surgical units is demanding and stressful, but little effort has been made to mitigate the working conditions that cause nurses to leave. It is possible to apply lessons from magnet hospital research spanning the past 18 years to alter the pattern of repeated nursing shortages. The process of receiving the magnet nursing services designation has transformed the work environment for all nurses at the University of California Davis Medical Center. This broadly focused article describes the transformation process and the culture of an institution that values and consequently retains the best nurses to provide outstanding patient care despite the nursing shortage.
尽管护理行业的从业者有着美好的意愿，但历史仍在重演。护士短缺的情况再次出现，重症监护病房受到的影响尤为严重。重症监护病房以及内科/外科病房的工作环境要求高且压力大，但在改善导致护士离职的工作条件方面却几乎没有采取什么措施。借鉴过去18年磁石医院研究的经验教训，有可能改变反复出现的护士短缺模式。获得磁石护理服务认证的过程改变了加州大学戴维斯分校医学中心所有护士的工作环境。这篇内容广泛的文章描述了这一转变过程以及一个重视并因此留住了最优秀的护士以在护士短缺的情况下仍能提供卓越患者护理的机构的文化。
