Discussion Board : Sustaining a Healthy Work Environment
It is important that all nurse function as leaders in promoting a healthy work environment.  Although managers must be involved in promoting a healthy work environment, morale, productivity, and job satisfaction of the team is a daily task and is shared by all members of the team, not just the leadership.

Nurses make up the majority of the workforce in acute care settings, such as hospitals.  Nurses have the power to influence the development of a culture of safety and support for all staff working in their organization.
