FON-80% by 2020

Hello Fellow Nursing Leaders!!
We continue to press forward with meeting our FON goal to get 80% of all RNs BSN-prepared by 2020.  I am so impressed with the students that I teach at CSUF in the RN-BSN program.  They are so engaged about this topic, and really see the value in achieving this goal.  We've had a few discussions this semester and discussed the following about barriers/obstacles with achieving this great goal:
  • Peer nurses that have more experience feeling threatened and increased bullying in the workplace
  • Managers feeling anxious about losing the RN to another hospital/leadership
  • Not enough opportunities to be involved in decision-making (this is a good problem, I think)
  • Feeling of frustration about manager behaviors that don't align with our studies about leadership
Where is your staff on the 80/2020 scale?  Do you know?  If you're a leader of a healthcare organization, I challenge you to find out today!!

Until next time...
