Dear Colleagues Dear Colleagues: What an exciting year! We had the pleasure of adding Southern Ocean Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital to the Meridian family. The nursing talents at these two facilities are adding valued contributions to our community and to the profession of nursing. We also congratulate Dr. Richard Ridge, Chief Nurse Executive at Southern Ocean Medical Center, and Linda Walsh, Chief Nurse Executive at Bayshore Community Hospital, on their new leadership roles. Meridian Health nurses continue to make significant contributions to patient care, the community, and to the profession of nursing. This report details the significant accomplishments that Meridian nurses have made in the area of clinical practice, education, research, publication, and local, regional, and national presentations. Meridian nurses are known not only for the finest quality care they deliver to patients but also the contributions that they make to the advancement of the nursing science. Over 75% of nurses are nationally certified in their area of clinical expertise! This is an outstanding accomplishment of which we should all be very proud! The national percentage of nurses who are certified is between 11 and 15% and amongst Magnet facilities it is 22%. We are certainly ahead of the curve because of our commitment to being a highly motivated and educated nursing staff. In the past four years, our percentage of bachelor’s prepared nurses grew significantly and now nearly half of our direct care givers have earned a BSN! Meridian continues to support ongoing professional education as demonstrated by over $300,000 being distributed in nursing scholarships! Collectively we must continue to work diligently to create new knowledge and innovation in the delivery of quality nursing care. As the most respected profession, nurses will need to continue to find new strategies to improve the outcomes of health care. By continuing to question how we can make it better, we will develop new solutions to age old problems and create the best nursing organization in the country. As we celebrate Nurses’ Week, let us remember how invaluable we are because of our commitment and passion to the care delivered to our patients. Nurses are the backbone of the health care delivery team and we are trusted by our patients to care for them with compassion and commitment to the science of nursing.
