WEDNESDAY AGENDA OVERVIEW

Bridging the Gap: Recruiting and Retaining Generational Nurses
Presented by: HealthLeaders
10:00 - 11:05 AM EST

About the Session:

In the midst of a national nursing shortage, it is crucial to recruit new nurses into the workforce and continue the careers of tenured nurses. How is this accomplished with more nurses retiring or leaving the industry, and not enough new talent to fill their shoes? This panel will explore strategies to improve nurse recruitment and retention, and how CNOs can help create and strengthen the next generation of nurses.

Panelists:
Gail Vozzella, Senior VP, Chief Nurse Executive at Houston Methodist
Cassie Lewis, Chief Nursing Officer, Bon Secours - Richmond
G. Hatfield, Nursing Editor, HealthLeaders

Culture and Compensation: What Are the Benefits?
Presented by: HealthLeaders
11:10 - 12:10 PM EST

About the Session:

With the recent wave of nursing strikes and union activity, it is evident that there is a broader call throughout the industry for a change in the standards of compensation, benefits, and workplace culture. However, it is clear that compensation is not the only factor that nurses are considering when choosing between health systems. This panel will take a look at innovative perks to attract and keep nurses, and how workplace culture and safety play a role as benefits alongside compensation.

Panelists:
Robin L. Steaban, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Chief Nursing Officer, Vanderbilt University Hospital
G. Hatfield, Nursing Editor, HealthLeaders
