FAYETTEVILLE – The N.C. Nurses Association has bestowed its Hallmarks of Healthy Workplaces award upon the Post Anesthesia Care Unit nursing staff at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. The Post Anesthesia Care Unit is where post-surgical patients recover from anesthesia before going to one of the surgical units in the medical center.
The three-year award was created to recognize hospitals that promote positive work environments, open communication, respect and solution-oriented actions that not only help nurses work better, but to also recruit more nurses and to retain them.
The reviewers called Cape Fear Valley’s PACU “a very supportive organization for nursing.” Among the unit’s many strengths noted by the reviewers were its strong leadership support from the CEO down to the nurse manager, excellent teamwork among staff, low employee turnover and flexible staffing.
The N.C. Nurses Association holds a recognition ceremony twice a year for winning hospitals. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center will be recognized during the N.C. Nurses Association recognition ceremony on Feb. 4 in Greensboro.
Highsmith-Rainey Specialty Hospital ICU was recognized this past January as a two-time winner of a Hallmarks of Healthy Workplaces award. Highmsith-Rainey first won the award in 2007.
