First and foremost, The Wellnurse program can help limit attrition. A recent survey by RNnetwork shows that 49 percent of registered nurses have considered leaving the profession at some point over the past two years. Although several factors can contribute to leaving the profession, burnout is high on list. Our program is meant to be a valuable tool for healthcare organizations to help nurses cope with burnout and ultimately reduce turnover.

Improved patient care is a valuable outcome when a nurse feels fulfilled and happy in their job. Utilizing the American Nurses Association’s National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators, researchers discovered that a 25 percent increase in nurse job enjoyment over a two-year span was linked with an overall quality of care increase between 5% and 20%. With the opportunity to realize these types of results, our wellness program for healthcare organizations is an important tool for those who are striving to improve patient care.
