NURS 6053 WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT

Hi Felicia, 

The work environment assessment has been an important opportunity to conceptualize the intricate element of the workplace. It has been especially relevant for understanding the mutual connection between different categories of workers and departments that have to actualize the same objectives. Despite the differences that might exist between workers, it is worthwhile to note that the commitment to facilitate the treatment and care for patients is the driving force for enhancing productivity and passion. So far, I have considered different aspects of my workplace and arrived at a fair score on how civil the workplace is, especially in respect of the conditions of the workforce. I align with the fair score given my concern in advocating for essential improvements. Despite the limited impact, my colleagues are also involved in addressing the underlying issues and pushing for better service delivery.   

 My facility attains a score of mildly healthy. The score is based on the tendency to have extremes of favorable and unfavorable conditions. My workplace has failed to have a balance in considering the interests of the workers. Nurses are indeed at the center of facilitating safety, ethics, and the dignity of the patients (Seyedfatemi et al., 2020). It has performed excellently regarding key areas such as ensuring a safe working environment. It is also noteworthy that the management has succeeded in having the best physicians in place, coupled with the support staff to ensure effective treatment and service delivery. There are further incentives for continuing education, which is often meant to align with the changing dynamics in the health profession (McCloughen & Foster, 2018). However, there are essential concerns regarding a high level of stress, patient overload, and workforce complaints. Such issues need to be addressed to arrive at the desired organizational standards.
