Rethinking Resilience: Nurses and Nurse Leaders Emerging From the Post–COVID-19 Environment
Nurses and nurse leaders are working in unprecedented intense and demanding environments, and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to place strain on their mental well-being.

Can Nurses Self-Assess Fatigue?: Implications for Nurse Leaders
CONCLUSIONS It may be unrealistic to expect nurses to self-assess fatigue levels and make decisions about their ability to safely provide patient care. Reliable methods for assessing fatigue in the workplace are needed. Several strategies exist that may be used to alleviate fatigue, and many were acceptable to nurses. Nurse leaders are well positioned to implement changes that impact the occurrence of nurse fatigue and thereby the quality of patient care. (Source: JONA: The Journal of Nursing Administration)

Supporting the Health of Our Nurses Using the 4A Model
Despite the well-documented need for nurse-focused efforts on health and wellness, too few healthcare organizations have made a meaningful impact on this issue. Nurse health should be integrated into the strategic and operational workings of the organization. Environments of health and wellness require attention, accountability, action, and accessibility.
