“We failed her miserably. She left OR nursing altogether.” The healthcare industry is facing a critical nursing shortage, and inadequate training is driving many nurses away from the profession.💔 During the pandemic Cynthia L. Garza, DNP, RN, CNOR, was the Director of Surgical and Endoscopy Services in a brand new 59-bed hospital with 3 ORs, 2 endoscopy suites, and a cath lab—and the facility lost 60% of its perioperative nurses. Recruitment efforts for experienced OR nurses were falling short, so Cynthia tried to onboard a nurse with no prior OR experience. Without a structured framework, the attempt failed. This experience drove home an important lesson: nurse retention requires support, structure, and teamwork. Cynthia rebuilt her approach by collaborating with surgical teams and using evidence-based onboarding strategies to create a more sustainable future for her team. ✨ With tools like Periop 101, she found a way to provide the consistency and guidance her nurses needed to succeed. The results? 💡 Two nurses trained during the program are still thriving years later. 📉 Turnover costs reduced significantly. 💙 A stronger team, better prepared to handle challenges. Cynthia’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact thoughtful training and leadership can have—not just on nurse retention, but on patient care and team morale.
