Happy Nurses Week 2010 from Favorite!
Congratulations Drawing Winners!
Favorite Healthcare Staffing is celebrating Nurses Week in a unique way this year. We kicked off a YouTube contest in February to collect photos and videos from nurses so we could release a Nurses Week YouTube Video.
Nurses across the country submitted photos and videos and were entered in a drawing for three netbooks. From the many entries we received, three names were drawn as winners of Acer NetBooks. Congratulations to our winners:
Cenita C. from Georgia
Kathy W. from Tennessee

Please join the list of healthcare professionals on our Emergency Disaster Relief Contact List
This fall, in view of the H1N1 threat of widespread illness and natural disasters, we are even more aware of the potential for possible emergency and pandemic needs. We are taking proactive measures to be certain we can quickly and effectively provide necessary staffing should emergency needs arise.
Favorite is assembling a quick-response healthcare professional resource database for Disaster and Emergency Relief. We are appealing to healthcare professionals across the nation, asking if they would like to be added to this "Disaster and Emergency Relief Resource List."
If emergency or disaster relief needs occur, these individuals will be flagged in our system to be contacted. Healthcare professionals who are not already in our database will be directed to a webform that will record their contact information, classification and specialty so a profile can be created in case a disaster relief situation requiring their specialty occurs.

Groundbreaking Study Supports the Value of Temporary Nursing
Results of a new study were released in the July/August issue of the Journal of Nursing Administration regarding Supplemental Nurse Staffing in Hospitals and Quality of Care. This study is particularly meaningful in addressing and dispelling unfounded concerns about safety and quality patient outcomes when using supplemental staff.
In one news release, Richard Wahlquist, the President/CEO of the American Staffing Association said, "This study shows what we have known all along -- that temporary and contract nurses are highly skilled professionals who provide high-quality care. They play a vital role in our health care system, and this research validates the positive impact they have on patient outcomes."
Contrary to commonly-held misperceptions about the value of temporary nurses, the study found:
The use of temporary nurses actually reduces nurse burnout and improves patient outcomes.
Nurses employed by staffing companies are as well as or better qualified than permanent nurses employed by hospitals.
Temporary nurses are more likely to have baccalaureate or higher degrees and to have received their education in the past 10 years.
Most temporary nurses work primarily as hospital staff nurses, and their temporary jobs are secondary.
At Favorite, we've always known that temporary nurses provide a wide range of valuable services and quality patient outcomes for our clients. The study noted that 75% of hospitals currently use supplemental nurses.
