We’ve all heard – and likely experienced – that nurses’ work environments have changed dramatically since the start of the pandemic, and not necessarily for the better.
The physical, psychological, social, spiritual and moral impacts of the complex work environment can be debilitating – ultimately affecting patient outcomes. However, evidence shows that by taking an active role in creating a better, more supportive work environment, nurses can enhance both their own well-being and the well-being of their colleagues. But where do you start?
AACN’s course, “Nurses Leading Change to Support Well-Being on Your Unit,” provides knowledge and strategies to help nurses in all roles generate workplace change focused on improving well-being on the unit. This four-part, interactive experience shares implementation science and well-being concepts, targeting a renewed emphasis on self-worth, compassion and integrity through peer-to-peer connections.
