    SNAC Announces Measures to Combat Nursing Shortage

    Coconut Telegraph

    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY MAY 5, 2018 |

    Leaders from the Suncoast Nursing Action Coalition (SNAC) and community partners from area hospitals and nursing schools will gather at a milestone event to share joint measures they are taking to combat a serious shortage of nurses impacting hospitals and nursing schools here and across the nation. Held during National Nurses Week, the briefing will include highlights from SNAC’s 2018 report detailing challenges unique to Florida and the Suncoast region, and what steps local hospitals and nursing schools are taking to meet the region and Florida’s future nursing workforce needs. Among other initiatives, SNAC will share details about several new nursing programs that soon will allow nurses to complete four-year bachelor’s (BSN) degrees in their home town (rather than move to other communities to complete their BSN training); also, thanks to local philanthropists and foundation support, SNAC will announce its latest round of nursing scholarships, bringing the total awarded to local recipients to $214,000.

    Give Gratitude, Grateful Patient Program

    If you have been a patient at Sarasota Memorial, perhaps you can look back to when the care you received exceeded your expectations. Maybe it was kind words from a doctor or nurse, the patience of a technologist who took the time to explain a procedure, or a volunteer, housekeeper or food service
