The world of nursing is always changing. To stay on top of what is affecting you and others in the profession, we create a new poll every week on the Strategies for Nurse Managers Web site. During the past few months, we asked for your take on hot topics such as The Joint Commission's (formerly JCAHO) Sentinel Alert on bad behavior and the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services' (CMS) recent regulations on hospital-acquired conditions. We also garnered your thoughts on best strategies for measuring patient satisfaction, the state of your staffs' morale, and your future in nursing. Interested in seeing where your answers ranked among the rest? Here is a glimpse of the results:
- We asked what you thought the number one mistake was among new graduates in interviews and 40% of your votes went to "inappropriate attire." The interview miscue for another 40% of you was "late arrival" and 20% indicated new grads made poor eye contact.
- At the start of October, CMS brought hospital reimbursement for 10 hospital-acquired conditions to a halt. But according to the bulk of you, this is going to benefit patient care. Forty-three percent of you felt the new regulations would improve the quality of patient care. This was followed by 29% who weren't sure whether the regulations would improve patient care and another 29% that thought the regulations would not improve it.
