🚨 Now Live: The Official CHCM 2026 Nursing Culture Report
This isn’t just another blog- this is CHCM’s flagship thought leadership piece for 2026.

The 2026 Nursing Culture Report by CEO Gen Guanci brings together national data, real nurse voices, and expert insight to examine the current realities shaping nursing today, and what must happen next.

💡 Inside the report:
• RN turnover remains elevated (16.4%) with vacancy rates near 10%
• Nearly 40% of nurses are considering leaving the profession in the next 5 years
• Burnout, psychological safety, and workforce stability continue to define the culture of care

But more importantly-this report goes beyond the data... 💡

It delivers clear, actionable direction for leaders ready to:
✔ Strengthen engagement & belonging
✔ Build true psychological safety
✔ Reignite purpose and retention
✔ Create cultures where nurses can thrive- not just survive

This is a must-read for anyone serious about the future of nursing.

Today, we celebrate National Certified Nurses Day! 💙

Certified Nurses Day, observed annually on March 19th, recognizes the professional excellence, dedication, and specialized expertise of board-certified nurses across health care.

Certification is more than a credential- it’s a commitment to lifelong learning, clinical excellence, and delivering the highest standard of patient care. Certified nurses play a critical role in advancing patient safety, improving outcomes, and strengthening the overall quality of care.

At CHCM, we are proud to support and celebrate nurses who go above and beyond to elevate their practice and their profession. 💙

👏 Join us in recognizing and thanking certified nurses for their incredible impact today and every day!

There’s a quiet challenge happening every day in health care, and it often goes unspoken. 🤔

When experienced professionals step into new roles, they don’t just grow… they start over.

The expert-to-novice transition can shake confidence, slow decision-making, and create an unexpected sense of uncertainty- even for the most capable leaders. It’s not a lack of skill… it’s a loss of familiarity.

✨ The good news? It’s normal. And it’s part of growth.
In our latest blog by CEO Gen Guanci, we explore what this transition really looks like- and how organizations can better support their people through it.
