Nursing shortages and high rates of turnover are documented problems that negatively affect patient care and institutional costs. During a session for the inaugural ONS Bridge™ virtual conference, Christopher Brooks, MS, RN, CENP, AOCNS®, director of nursing professional development and education at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center outlined philosophies and programs his institution uses to recruit and retain its nursing workforce.

The nursing profession is all about positively impacting the lives of the patients, and there are many ways that a nurse can have a positive impact in their workplace environment, as well. There are four key areas of influence that a nurse has in the workplace.

If someone you work with is using sexual language or has sexually suggestive pictures or objects at work or has engaged in threats, touching or physical assaults – these also may create an illegal hostile work environment.

ONS members Anne Ireland, MSN, RN, AOCN®, CENP, director-at-large on the ONS board of directors and member of the Greater Los Angeles and Inland Empire ONS chapters, Kristin Ferguson, DNP, RN, OCN®, treasurer for the ONS board of directors and member of the National Capital Area ONS Chapter, and Ashley Leak Bryant, PhD, RN-BC, OCN®, previous chair of ONS’s leadership development committee and member of the North Carolina Triangle ONS Chapter, join ONS Immediate Past President Laura Fennimore, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, member of the Greater Pittsburgh ONS Chapter, to discuss the future of cancer care.
