Quality of Work Life in Nursing
Researchers are striving to better understand the quality of work life in nursing and the implications for healthcare and organizations. Do a search using the keywords “quality work life nursing” or a search of your creation related to the topic.
Read a selected peer-reviewed scholarly article from within the last 5 years and share with us what the main elements of the article are suggesting (be sure to use citations and references in keeping with APA and proper posting format).
Critique the information and its relevance to nursing practice. Are the results valid? What are the results? Do you agree/disagree and why?
For your response post engage in a professional dialogue

E.g., Leadership … but the point is about defining terms.
Why should we define concepts?
Numerous definitions of leadership exist, and numerous authors note the lack of agreement on what leadership is (Ackoff, 1998; Burns, 1978; Burns, 1996; Rost, 1991; Souba, 2010). Simply put by Duke (1986), “Leadership is used as a general description of what leaders do” (p. 7), however, this is a rather empty and meaningless explanation of the term. This would be my critique of what this author wrote.
It is interesting to find that Barker (1997) argued that “not defining leadership seems to be an accepted practice among scholars who discuss leadership” (p. 344). He went on to explain that there is an apparent assumption on the part of writers that those who read their work already know what leadership is. This is giving some evidence to the point I want to make and indicates I have a useful source in my view.
This whole point to be developed from looking at the leadership literature is the need to highlight the importance of defining the concept you are working with. If we are going to discuss terms and concepts, for example, reflective practice in nursing, they must be defined or explained. For example, the term reflection has many meanings not limited to what we see in the mirror. This shows analysis and further explanation to support the need to define concepts used in writing and then I would explain some more about this….
List all the journal articles cited in the document in APA format. Slate does not allow for double spacing so single spacing is permitted in postings.
