• Millennial nurses aren't loyal. They're always looking for a
bigger paycheck, so why should you invest time in their success? But
the numbers tell a different story, one that may actually align with
your facility's mission and values.
• Millennial nurses don't have the same work ethic. They're
working just to get by and are too absorbed in their phones or free-
range lifestyles to provide the level of care we've seen in previous
generations of nurses. Understanding the truth about their work ethic
will make it easier for you to relate to them and provide them with the
tools to succeed.
• Millennial nurses need to be coddled. They need constant
feedback, which takes time away from other important tasks
managers must oversee. What comes across as needy is actually a call
for something bigger and more useful to you both.
• Millennial nurses only work to fund their obsessions. To them
it's just a job and as long as they can afford their expensive brunches
and pumpkin spice lattes they're good to go. As Ms. Wilson takes you
deeper into the mind of a millennial, you'll be surprised at the
overlaps be-tween their ambitions and your facility's mission.
• Millennial nurses are constantly after more money. They only
care about their next promotion or pay raise. But if we look past the
monetary gains of promotion, what is it millennials are really after?
After the truth is revealed, Ms. Wilson will go over real strategies for
engaging with millennial nurses. How you can get to know your
youngest staff members — their goals and ambitions — and how they
align with your facility's mission and ideals?
