Week 7 – Assignment 1 Discussion Discussion Question 1: Nurse Leader and Organizational Culture of Caring Caring is the primary reason nurses enter the field of nursing, and the concept of caring is often thought of as the essence of nursing. Not only do nurses care for patients but they also have to care for each other. Sometimes, nurses tend to focus so much on patients and their families that they forget to care for themselves and one another. This is a major source of compassion fatigue causing nurses to leave the healthcare organization or, worse yet, to totally leave the nursing profession. Compassion fatigue is the cumulative impact of physical, emotional, and psychological exposure to trauma, stressful events, and the care for patients or nursing colleagues who face many challenges. Compassion fatigue can sabotage nurses in healthcare organizations as it is challenging, and nurses may be harmed by the very work to which they are so devoted. Nurses must be aware of what it means to create a community within the workplace and to offer support and resources to retain nurses the organization has worked so diligently to recruit.
