BMIS
BIMS
The initial survey with a low response rate of just over seventeen percent, and a continuing issue with employee satisfaction have provided the motivation to dig a little deeper into the culture and the state of employee perceptions at BIMS. Obviously, the high turnover rate is alarming because not only does it indicate a deep level of dissatisfaction, but over the course of the next few years there is predicted to be a nursing shortage which will make maintaining high levels of employee satisfaction a priority. Therefore BIMS has also integrated an exit interview into their second wave of surveys to try to determine exactly why employees have chosen to voluntarily retire from the organization.
The first question of the exit survey asked if employees believed that they were well trained for their position. This is an important question because if employees do not have the appropriate skills...
The survey revealed that there was a mean of 2.82, a median of 3 and a mode of 2. The sample standard deviation is 1.21 with a sample variance of 1.47. Most employees apparently did not feel they were adequately trained which is obviously a potential source of contention.
Another important aspect of employee satisfaction is whether or not they feel that they are adequately compensated for their work. The data collected from former employees indicated a mean of 2.94, a median of 3, and a mode of 2. The sample standard deviation for this question is 1.37 with a sample variance of 1.88.

Nurse-to-Patient Ratios in Illinois The Facts For many years the ongoing nursing shortage has required nurses to work longer hours and care for more patients, causing many of them to make fatal and near-fatal mistakes on the job that could have otherwise been avoided. Illinois has attempted to remedy this situation by enacting The Nurse Staffing by Patient Acuity Law on August 24, 2007 ("The Nurse Staffing by Patient Acuity Law," 2012).
Dialysis organizations would be another opponent to the change due to the cost. Raising the costs of treatment might be necessary to hire new nurses. Dialysis clinics, because of their small size, often have fewer resources than large hospitals and the increased cost of wages of new hires would place a an additional stress on the unit's already limited budget, perhaps if estimates by the American Hospital Association are correct,
Acute care facilities try to maintain low costs and employ quality nurses. Within this statement is a double standard. How can we have quality nurses and cut costs at the same time? This is where the skill mix comes into play. In the skill mix, there are Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and unlicensed staff. If the lesser skilled staff free RNs they can be better able to
Nurse-Patient Ratio on Care Quality Nurse Patient Ratio The Impact of Nurse to Patient Ratio on Healthcare Quality The Impact of Nurse to Patient Ratio on Healthcare Quality It would be hard to understate the importance of a high nurse to patient ratio (NPR) for patient and staff safety, as well as quality of care. While there are a number of different nursing factors that can influence these outcomes, including nursing education, experience,
