Nurse Engagement
“What were the results of that RN Survey?”
MUSC Nurses were more satisfied than the
national average in six areas but there is room
for improvement in five others:
Pay
• MUSC Senior Leaders are investing money in equity
and merit increases (September Town Halls)
Autonomy
• Nurses are empowered to do what is best for patients
– Autonomy is one of our values! (refer to PPM)
DecisionMaking
• Nurse Alliance, unit councils, & huddles are just a few
ways nurses have input in decision making.
Nursing
Administration
• CNO Advisory Council of clinical nurses meet monthly
and give input on organizational level issues.
