Phoenix Children’s Interim Chief Nursing Executive Dianne Bennett said investing in the health system’s nursing workforce will ultimately benefit its patients. “The families will benefit and the patients benefit when our nurses feel valued,” Bennett said. “It supports the work that we do to advance technology, outcomes, evidence-based practice — all the things that make nurses have a significant impact on patient care.”PCH50 Mission Chair Chris Hanrahan echoed the sentiment.“Phoenix Children’s has long been a source of hope and healing for families across Arizona,” Hanrahan said in a statement. “PCH50 is proud to support the Journey to Magnet because we believe investing in nurses is investing in every patient and family they serve. “We are honored to help advance nursing excellence and contribute to a stronger future for pediatric health care.” According to Bennett, PCH50 awarded the $1 million investment on the 100th day of Phoenix Children’s Journey to Magnet initiative. She said only 10% of hospitals in the United States have achieved Magnet designation, which recognizes nursing excellence and high standards of patient care.The funding will support staffing, readiness assessments, professional-practice infrastructure and expert guidance throughout the designation process. Bennett said the initiative will also support nursing research and education, including specialists who work with newer nurses as they transition from nursing school into clinical practice. With the funding to help achieve Phoenix Children’s long-term goal in hand, Bennett said that she is immensely grateful to PCH50. The nonprofit organization has partnered with Phoenix Children’s for many years, contributing time and resources to help advance the health care system’s mission. The chief nursing executive described them as “an amazing group of gentlemen” that always support the community. Bennett has been a nurse for over 30 years and said that she would not have chosen any other profession over her current one. Understanding the work and sacrifice the job requires firsthand, she said nurses can be called upon to support patients and families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.“Nurses are the ones that will see you when you’re first born — you come out, we take you, we assess you and we give you to your mother to hold,” Bennett said. “We’re there when you take your last breath. We’re there through difficult times.”She said that some days, a nurse might spend part of their shift supporting the family of a critically ill patient through a devastating outcome, only to receive a new trauma patient minutes later. In those moments, she said nurses must compartmentalize their emotions and continue performing at the highest level of their training.While achieving the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet designation is one of Phoenix Children’s major goals, Bennett said that the work does not end there. The health system plans to continue investing in nursing leadership and expertise as it looks for new ways to improve patient care.“They are my colleagues, I learn from them every day, I’m so proud of them and I’m proud to be a part of their team,” Bennett said. “The way that our nurses contribute to getting patients, these kids, back on their feet and back home — they give it their all every single day.”</div></body>
