Professionalism in Nursing Workshop
Based on the RNAO, Health Work Environments, Best Practice Guideline: Professionalism in Nursing, ( March 2007)
Description:
Health care environments have become a challenge in recent years due to constant restructuring efforts to achieve greater efficiency and productivity. Changes have been evident across all sectors and settings, making for a chaotic and occasionally unstable work environment. All of these changes have impacted the individual nurses' ability to maintain high levels of professionalism. Evidence clearly indicates that professionalism must exist in order for a workplace to be considered a healthy work environment and for nurses to work collaboratively.
