Nursing’s Millennials-Fair Treatment?
December 16th, 2008 by khartWe’re always glad to have feedback on the articles and white papers we write, especially when it provides us with the opportunity to further examine a topic. A reader, Annette Lynch, sent us her comments on a recent white paper by Kate Christmas of Hodes Health Care as follows:
Karen - Thank you. I am a mentor for new nurses at our facility, and I am impressed by the quality of this white paper. So many articles that have been written on the topic in nursing journals have portrayed the millennial nurse as a self-centered parasite. I have found them to be quite the opposite. This boomer nurse appreciates them for their zest, their joie de vivre, and I fear that if many of the existing nurse pool clamps down too heavily, we may lose the war of attracting and retaining the best and the brightest.

How about you? Do you think that nursing’s Millennials get fair treatment in the press?
