MNA Encourages You to Participate in the R3: Resilient Nurses Initiative of Maryland

 Join Maryland Nurse Leaders in a Slow Talk about Relational Solutions to Workforce Challenges

A new project from R3: Resilient Nurses Initiative of Maryland and Slow Talk, a platform for facilitated conversation and analysis, reveals that organizations must address relationship dynamics between nurses and key stakeholders including leadership, peers, patients and themselves for nurses to thrive in the profession.

Maryland nurses value compensation, improved staffing schedules, professional development opportunities, and other benefits (defined as transactional interventions). Yet 63 percent of comments focused on relationship dynamics between nurses and key stakeholders like patients and hospital administrators.

“This report shines a light on the critical role of relationships in addressing the nursing workforce crisis. Our responses as a health care community are too often transactional,” says Dr Cynda Rushton, the Bunting Professor of Clinical Ethics in Nursing at Johns Hopkins, who leads the initiative.

For nurse leaders, Dr. Rushton and Slow Talk are offering a unique opportunity to engage in a safe and candid conversation with peers to give voice to the unique concerns and pressures of your roles and discuss the potential for collaborative action.
