Work Environment

The Work Environment:

The work environment for today's registered nurse has been shaped by an aging demographic, higher patient acuity, reductions in health care reimbursement, and a growing nursing shortage, along with ongoing pressures to work more efficiently.

This section of the Nurses' Survival Kit contains links and information about mandatory overtime, whistleblower legislation, safety standards, ergonomics, and related topics to help you navigate your way through the current work environment.
