About this episode

Lafayette County Hospital is changing nurse scheduling to improve retention and patient care while saving costs.

Lafayette County Hospital is poised to revolutionize nurse scheduling by lowering the full-time threshold from 40 to 36 hours, aligning with its hospital’s 24/7 model and saving $100K annually while fighting burnout and boosting retention. This move, already approved by committees, aims to attract talent and enhance patient care, while a new state law lets experienced RNs with bachelor’s degrees teach at nursing schools—further strengthening local education partnerships and the future of healthcare.
