Session on Best practices for nurse retention and professional development

Best practices for nurse retention and professional development are essential for maintaining a skilled and engaged nursing workforce. These practices may include opportunities for ongoing education and training, mentoring programs, career advancement opportunities, and recognition programs. Nurses who feel supported in their professional development are more likely to remain engaged and committed to their work, which can contribute to better patient outcomes and higher levels of job satisfaction. Employers can also promote nurse retention by addressing issues such as work-life balance, fair compensation, and a positive work environment. By implementing best practices for nurse retention and professional development, healthcare organizations can cultivate a skilled and committed nursing workforce that delivers high-quality patient care.
