Session 1: Vital Signs: The Health of our Health Care Organizations<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\nHealthcare organizations are measured by their outcomes, which themselves, are the outcome of the quality of their leadership, the stability of their workforce, and the efficiency of their budgets. From the front lines of organizational consulting, our speaker identifies the friction points, from the chronic staffing crisis, to budget shortfalls and ineffective management that are currently testing the limits of the Canadian system. Please welcome organizational consultant Stacey Holloway, BScN as she discusses current vital signs of our healthcare organizations.<\/p>\n
Objectives coming soon…<\/p>\n

\nSession 2: Nurses Stay Where They Feel Seen – How Every Nurse Can Help Build a Culture of Retention<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\nThis session will explore why meaningful connection is important in nurse retention, and how care, growth, and help can support nurses across career stages. Linda-Ann will draw from the 2023 AONL and Crucial Learning study<\/a>, which found that nurses whose managers offered care, growth, and help were more than 80% more likely to intend to stay, while employee rounding alone did not have a measurable effect on intent to quit. While the study focuses on manager behaviours, the session will expand the conversation to the everyday actions of nurses in different roles, including staff nurses, charge nurses, preceptors, educators, mentors, and peers. The main message is that nurse leaders shape the conditions, but every nurse helps shape the experience of working on a unit. This session will offer insights into:<\/p>\n\u2022 How can we help nurses to feel genuinely seen?
\n\u2022 How do we nurture a nurses growth?
\n\u2022 How do we help remove barriers?
\n\u2022 How do different nurses experience retention? i.e new Grads, IEN’s students, experienced nurses and leaders?
\n\u2022 How much is retention influenced by leadership vs. the culture of the unit?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Examine the divergence between public perception and the clinical frontline by discussing how contemporary media including dramas like The Pitt portray the evolving healthcare landscape in Canada.
\n\u2022 Examine how Nurses and Physicians and their professional dynamics are portrayed in the media.
\n\u2022 Address the sobering rise of workplace violence within medical facilities, discuss discussing how these safety concerns impact provider well-being and the delivery of patient care in an increasingly strained system.

\nSession 4: A Closer Look: Forensic Nursing – a Non-Traditional Career Choice<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\nForensic Nursing is a fascinating \u201cbridge\u201d specialty.
