What can I do to earn a higher, better rating, and great testimonial for my organisation? Follow

The best way to earn a good rating and testimonial is the obvious provision of adequate support and resources for nurses to do what they do best. Think about the workplace you would want to work in if you were a nurse trying to provide the best care that you can.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Welcome the nurse to your organisation and unit
• Introduce yourself to the nurse
• Introduce the nurse to your team. To guide you, you can use the one-page PDF summary that was emailed to you when the nurse applied for the shift.
• Find a ‘buddy’ nurse working near them so they have someone to go to (before the team leader) if they need help during the shift
• Provide the nurse with a quick orientation to the ward/unit. This will help the nurse to hit the ground running, work more independently, practise safely, and enjoy efficient management of their time.

• If your unit or department has a shift routine, run through this with the nurse as it should help the nurse plan the day or night
• Inform the nurse of their break times and the duration of these
• Thank the nurse for the day at the end of the shift
• And last but not least, a smile goes a long way 😊
