Generational Differences in the Nursing Workforce
The nursing workforce consists of individuals from multiple generational cohorts and includes a dynamic mix of nurses who reflect the cultural and historical events that shaped their generation. As the Baby Boomer generation retires and younger generational cohorts fill their positions, Generation X and Millennials are a growing majority in the workforce, and the number of Generation Z nurses is steadily increasing. To recruit, retain, and lead teams with multigenerational members, nurse leaders need to understand the differences in attitudes toward work life and professional identity among generations and how to leverage ...

Solving the Practice-Management Perception Gap – A Key to Creating Heathier Work Environments
The most recent American Association of Critical-Care Nurses National Nurse Work Environment Study reveals a continued practice-management perception gap concerning the health of nurse work environments, with frontline nurse managers (FNMs) generally rating the work environment healthier than do direct care nurses (DCNs). The results also support the important influence FNMs have on DCNs and the health of the work unit. Key priorities must include gaining a better understanding of the underlying causes of practice-management perception gaps, addressing the gaps through open discussion and communication, and DCNs and FNMs c...

“A sincere ‘how are you?’ is already a sign of acknowledgement that you’re there too.” - Interview Study on the Support Needs of Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) Living with a Parent with Cancer
Parental cancer brings changes and challenges which affect the whole family. Evidence shows heightened psychosocial risk among the offspring. Research among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) facing parental cancer has mainly focused on these psychosocial problems. As a reaction, there has been an increase in research on the needs of this population, since this knowledge is crucial for developing appropriate support. Despite this increase, some AYAs are still underrepresented, namely those over eighteen years old and those who have a parent with incurable cancer. (Source: European Journal of Oncology Nursing)
