Case Study 1

In the unit’s monthly staff meeting, staff stress from the current pandemic is brought up as a growing problem. The staff complain that they are overworked, exhausted and there is not enough staff. They are also tired of orienting new staff, and temporary staff members are not effective. Two nurses mention that they have personally experienced more near misses when administering medications. The unit seems to also be experiencing a lack of teamwork and increase hostility among the staff. The nurse manger tells the staff that they recognize from the discussion that there is a lot of tension and this is a concern. As the nurse manager you leave the meeting and are in your office to consider how to response to the unit and the problems.
