Nursing isn’t just a job. It takes dedication and drive, which are critical to the patient experience. Nurses make up over one-third of the healthcare workforce. However, despite the demand for nurses, retention continues to decline. The average tenure of a new nurse is only 18 months. The nursing staff’s low morale, combined with a disjointed approach to patient care across hospitals, was negatively affecting the quality and efficiency of care provided to patients.

For my final project, I aimed to solve these challenges – How might we help nurses cope with the emotional and physical complexities of nursing? How might we support staff, and enhance patient care and experience without distractions that take them away from patients? How might we increase staff satisfaction, boost morale and improve retention?
