In my future nursing practice, I feel responsible to highlight on the importance of nursing participation regarding making decisions and changing or enforcing policies. Staff participation empowers staff. When people are heard they feel empowered, and when people feel empowered people take ownership of their actions and expect more from themselves and peers working around them.

In my future nursing practice, I will also be supportive of furthering education and advocating for nursing school curriculums to address the importance of incivility and diverse ways or approaches on how to handle these situations. The expectation should start at nursing school.

I have learned that to provide a healthier working environment in my future nursing practice that as a leader I am also responsible to provide for leadership and all nursing staff further workshops on communication and techniques we can learn to better support each other and relay to each other ideas that although may be different at times we can come together to negotiate a happy medium. Administrators must be taking on active role. (Coursey 2013)
