The Nurse Manager Portal

Our top resources for nurse managers


Overview

Today's nurse manager is busier than ever. That's why we've created a one-stop hub featuring the latest insights and tools for nurse managers. With this portal, you'll have access to implementation resources, best practices, and lessons from your peers. For more information on our nursing topic and to subscribe to our newsletter, click the link below.

  • Win Millennials’ Loyalty This best practice study will explain why millennial RNs are often engaged in their work, but not loyal to the organization. See practice 11 to identify critical staff at high risk of turnover and proactively intervene to keep them at the organization.
  • First Year Nurse Retention Toolkit Use this toolkit to implement three critical strategies for promoting professional growth and building nursing loyalty in the first year. See tool 1 to develop actionable feedback and prepare a conversation road map to help staff grow, tool 8 to structure your stay interviews, and tool 9 to identify career development opportunities that will engage staff in their work.

  • Audit unit readiness to receive new graduate RNs Use this audit to identify if your unit is ready for new graduates and any necessary next steps to help you become prepared.
  • Critical Thinking Diagnostic Use this diagnostic to uncover specific competencies on which frontline nurses excel, as well as those in need of improvement. The Critical Thinking Diagnostic also enables nursing leaders to identify the specific individuals—or key groups—in greatest need of improvement.
  • The Experience-Complexity Gap As retirement-age nurses exit the workforce while the influx of new nurses continues to grow, the net effect is a decline in the overall experience of the nursing workforce. Start with Path One: teach novice nurses more effectively by fiercely scoping weeks 1-12 and standardizing preceptor work.
  • The Nurse Preceptor Toolkit This toolkit has nine tools designed to help organizations update their preceptor support to more effectively teach the growing workforce entering practice in today's complex care environment. Start with the preceptor program diagnostic. This tool helps you assess your organization’s preceptor program compared to industry best practice and identify the greatest opportunities for improvement. After completing this diagnostic, use the remaining sections of this toolkit to improve the prioritized areas.

  • Win Millennials' Loyalty Provide newer nurses with a range of experiences by facilitating transfers to different units or care settings and retain millennials by providing longer-term career pathing. See steps 2 and 3 to provide nurses with a range of experiences by facilitating transfers to different units or care settings and to provide longer-term career pathing.
  • How to Flex RNs Across Sites of Care Using Blended Roles Learn how to flex nurses across units or sites of care and expand their breadth of experience without altogether leaving their role – or the organization.
