Imagine you are the Administrative Director of a 42-bed medical/surgical unit in a large metropolitan medical center. Your unit is almost always at 100% capacity, and staffing is very lean. Each nurse has 7 patients, most of which are either very sick elderly, or fresh surgical cases that require frequent attention.
The nursing assistants each have 12 or more patients to help with personal care, plus routine activities like taking vital signs. Every shift in the unit is chaotic. Staff rarely have time to sit during their 12-hour shifts, and many are too busy to take their meal break. Morale is very low and you have a difficult time keeping the unit fully staffed.
When there isn’t enough staff due to the frequent call-ins and resignations/transfers, people have to double up on their duties, and often you are taken away from your own responsibilities to help them. When this happens, your work piles up. Overall, you feel extreme pressure to ensure your unit is measuring up to requirements, and you worry about not only the stress you feel, but also the stress your staff must endure.
Based research you conduct among credible sources, prepare a 4-5-page paper that analyzes how employee wellbeing strategies might improve the situation in your unit, and create a plan for a positive wellbeing program you could implement with your troubled work group.
Explain how the plan can improve the environment and help your staff and yourself to thrive. Be sure your paper is supported by 5-6 credible sources.
