 Nurse retention is often achieved by nurse satisfaction—but how do you achieve true job satisfaction in a hectic healthcare environment? One answer might be medical mission trips.

An interesting piece written for HealthLeaders Media by Rebecca Hendren explores what medical mission trips can do for RNs by profiling a nurse who went to Haiti with a group of healthcare professionals. Though salary is an obvious factor in job satisfaction, Hendren explores what else truly matters to nurses, and giving back ranks high.

Community outreach can expand skill base, professionalism, and perspective, no matter where the community might be.

What's your experience with community outreach as a nurse? How does it affect your day-to-day job? Would you encourage others to do the same? Visit StressedOutNurses.com to post a comment and let us know!
