| Abstract |
Nursing job satisfaction is a significant concern in the current healthcare system. Establishing effective solutions and tools to improve nurse job satisfaction will be critical in maintaining a strong and effective nursing workforce. This project aims to improve nurse job satisfaction by implementing a strategy to improve nurse engagement, empowerment, shared decision-making, and a professional practice work environment (PPWE). Shared governance councils aligned with an evidence-based model produce improvement in all of these essential factors related to nurse job satisfaction. This project includes resources for nursing staff and nurse leaders to implement shared governance realignment and education on the impact of shared governance participation. Education and nurse and leader buy-in are critical for the success of shared governance and its potential to improve job satisfaction in the nursing field. The benefit of improving nurse job satisfaction impacts the nurses themselves, their teams, their organizations, and the patients they serve. |
