abstract: The authors describe an organization's success in creating a process, which aligned nurses and senior management in the creation of a desired future state. The environment is one of high census, nurse shortage, and two union organizing efforts. The outcome is a significant investment in this organization's future by the selection of key interventions to enhance nurse satisfaction and loyalty, and ultimately retention.
