1)As a leader, you may have to create a plan to recruit, orient, and retain staff. Describe how you might outline this plan. Consider the following in your plan: orienting new nurses, retaining experienced nurses, and retaining older nurses. What are some key points you need to include for each category? How can nurse leaders and managers bridge the generational differences in the workplace? What specific actions or strategies would you use to help bridge the gap? Also, recall what you have learned about transition to practice programs and explain how this influences your plan.
2)Cultivating a healthy environment is essential. What do you picture as a healthy environment and what can you control as a leader to advocate for? Identify the specific characteristics of a healthy environment and discuss strategies you will use to promote a healthy environment for the unit in which you are a nurse leader.
