You Have A Voice in Our Future

Terry Capuano, R.N., senior vice president of clinical services, empowered nurses to set their goals for the next 10 years.

To do so, she called upon 140 nurses to participate in a Future Search conference.

“When we started talking about the future of nursing, we discovered we had a lot in common,” says participant Dorothy McGinley, R.N., of the post-anesthesia care unit at LVH–Cedar Crest. Others felt as strongly about recruitment and retention resources and precepting opportunities as she did.

“It was exciting to have a voice in our future and help shape the nursing profession,” McGinley says. In fact, every one had such a strong say that if one person disagreed with a goal, it was removed from the list.

You, too, could participate in a Future Search. This spring, Capuano is calling upon caregivers, community members and patients to look to the future of patient care. Through Future Search, they will set goals for taking the patient care experience to the next level.
