Editor’s Notebook

The news is positive as nursing salaries are trending higher, but the salary is no longer the primary reason for staying in your nursing role. Nurses consistently cite work-life balance and other factors that lead them to one employer over another, including:

• Flexibility

• Support

• Opportunity for growth

• Job security

• Job passion

• Feeling valued

• Culture

Each of these factors is key for your engagement, fulfillment, and happiness at work and makes the difference in increasing the longevity of a fulfilling and meaningful nursing career. This month Minority Nurse explores the rise in nursing salaries and trends keeping nurses in the workplace.

• The news is good for nursing salaries as they trend higher, but minorities still struggle.

• Meet a nurse treating nurse burnout, trauma, and grief with dance.

• Nurses with disabilities are a skilled workforce performing meaningful work with a different approach.

• Empowering nurses. CNO says supporting our most essential workforce is the only way forward.

“For us who nurse, our nursing is a thing, which, unless in it we are making progress every year, every month, every week, take my word for it we are going back. The more experience we gain, the more progress we can make.” –Florence Nightingale
