Caring Environment

The caring role of nurses is not impervious to obstacles that might be present in today’s health care systems. Such obstacles might occur when nurses do not feel cared for by their nurse managers. Through the “Relational Caring Inquiry”, 16 staff nurses were asked to answer two questions pertaining to their personal experiences with a nurse manager and how these experiences influenced their caring practice. Concerning managerial practices, the staff nurses’ stories revealed the presence of a “Dialectic of Power”, involving two contradictory forces: subjugation and empowerment. These findings can assist managers to better create a caring environment within the institution and help sensitize nurses to patients’ suffering.

Hospital organizations are affected by the shortage of nurses across the United States. Hospital organizations must strategically plan to recruit and retain nurses. An average hospital will incur costs between $5.13 million to $7.86 million due to RN turnover.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe nurses' lived experiences with nurse manager leadership on medical surgical units in Riverside County, California, USA.
