Nurses matter.

For far too long, nurses have been seen as a “cost” to the healthcare system despite being consistently ranked as one of the most trusted professions. Results from the 2023 Ethics Index Report from the Governance Institute of Australia (2023 Ethics Index Report) notes nurses are rated as the third most ethical profession in Australia, higher than general practitioners and second only to pharmacists in the health sector.

Despite the above, nurses have constantly been seeking to address key problems and concerns such as: better pay rates in relation to the current economy, cost of living and inflation rates, staff shortages, improving nurse-patient ratios, workload management, improving retention of nurses, positive workplaces that strongly support nurse well-being and reduce burn-out rates, access to education and lifelong learning, career progression, etc.

At Priority Nurses, we understand and recognize that the well-being of Nurses directly affects the quality of care delivered. Simply put, look after your nurses, and they will not only deliver high-standard care but will also improve the “bottom line” of your organization.
