Cultivating Cultures of Caring
Nurse-driven Initiatives for a Healthy Work Environment
It's time to shift from cultures of cruelty and disrespect to cultures of caring.
Are you ready?
In an industry dedicated to caring and compassion, you would never expect to find healthcare professionals being cruel to each other. Yet, in hospitals across the globe, we are seeing an alarming increase in infighting among staff, tension between shifts, new employees being eaten alive, and float staff not being supported. Worse yet, nurses are airing their frustrations in front of patients – the very patient’s they’ve vowed to serve.
Working in healthcare is hard enough without worrying about your co-workers making it harder.
Are you worried…
- the new nurses you just hired will be eaten alive by your experienced nurses?
- you won’t meet your target goals for patient satisfaction?
- your day and night shifts are beating each other up?
- You’ll get complaints about how your staff treated the travelers or people who get floated to your unit?
What if you could stop worrying and start enjoying a culture of caring within your department?
What if I told you we’ve seen it happen and it doesn’t involve adding another thing onto your plate!
By the end of this digital course, you will...
- Be equipped with the tools you need to roll out each initiative in your department
- Be prepared with a collection of well tested tactics you can implement to launch and sustain each initiative
- Take ownership of you environment by creating and INTENTIONAL culture of caring
- Establish a communication plan so that the culture of caring initiatives scale and spread across the organization
Tackling a problem that’s been swept under the carpet for decades can feel like an overwhelming burden, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
To create a professional, nurturing, and supportive work culture, you can’t just gather a group of leaders and then sit around the table talking about strategies.
You must comprehensively empower your nurses to become a part of the solution.
Ultimately, the goal is to provide you and your team with the skills, tools, and resources to truly cultivate a supportive, nurturing, and caring work culture.

Imagine if you could trust that even when you’re not there,
your employees will treat each other with respect.

Why this matters to me...
As a bedside nurse, I’ve been yelled at and criticized in front of patients, felt the surge of hydrochloric acid rise in my stomach when finding out I was pulled to another unit; been tortured as a new nurse, and dumped on by the opposite shift.
It’s not right. Working in healthcare is hard enough without your co-workers making it harder.
When I became a manager, I thought it would be different. But I experienced the same issues but instead of the cruelty being directed at me, it was happening among my employees.
And I had no idea what to do about it and even if I did, I had no time. I was already putting in way more hours than I wanted to. My family suffered and so did I.
That’s why I spent many years developing simple nurse-driven initiatives to address the most common ways disruptive behaviors show up in healthcare.
That’s why I created, Cultivating Cultures of Caring. To provide leaders with the tools they need to empower their nurses to make it easier on each other – not harder; tools I never had.
