OMAHA,
Neb., May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical
Solutions, which connects nurses and allied health clinicians with
hospitals and healthcare systems, has released findings from its
annual Voices of Care survey. One key finding reveals that
only 42.8% of respondents feel they are paid fairly for the work
they do.
The 2023 Voices of Care survey gathered responses in
December 2023 from 7,117 registered
nurses. This included traveling, permanent, and per diem nurses.
The study uses survey responses to provide insights that can better
inform healthcare facilities about characteristics, attitudes, and
behaviors of nurses.
In the overall comparison between Medical Solutions' 2022 and
2023 survey, there was a notable 11% decrease in the number of
respondents who agreed they are paid fairly for the work they do.
Concurrently, 5% more respondents (24.2%) disagreed, which implies
they believe they are not being paid fairly. Meanwhile, 33% replied
neutral.
"Keeping our finger on the pulse of the viewpoints of nurses is
absolutely essential, especially given the nursing shortage we are
facing," said Scott Armstrong, Vice
President of Client Growth at Medical Solutions. "It's about
actively listening, responding to their needs, and ensuring the
industry is doing everything possible to support the future of our
nursing workforce."
By leveraging these insights, healthcare organizations can
tailor their recruitment and retention strategies to better meet
the needs and expectations of their employees.
"Understanding nurses' perspectives is vital for effective
recruitment and retention strategies," said Patti Artley, Chief Nursing Officer at Medical
Solutions. "By addressing their concerns, facilities can lay the
groundwork for stronger nursing teams and create environments where
nurses thrive."
