The policy for ethical considerations, and the police’s strengths and challenges in promoting ethics. Competing needs arise within any organization as employees seek to meet their targets and leaders seek to meet company goals. As a leader, successful management of these goals requires establishing priorities and allocating resources accordingly. Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients are often in conflict. Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assistive personnel, and employer reductions of education benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs in practice. Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and inaction. In this Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you began work on in Module 1 by addressing competing needs within your organization.

The healthcare issue or stressor identified earlier is nursing staff shortage in the healthcare organization. As can be surmised, this issue has far-reaching implications on the quality of care that a health institution can offer (Antwi & Bowblis, 2018). This fact derives from the simple fact that nurses are the one with direct contact to patients and therefore form the face of the organization’s service product. This paper therefore takes a look at this healthcare stressor in terms of competing organizational interest that impact it such as nurses’ need for better pay and a conducive working environment,  and the patients’ need to be offered the best quality care possible by nurses who are committed to their job.
