title: Withstanding the pressure of the profession.
abstract: Nurses often practice in chaotic, demanding work environments. Understanding the negative impact these environments have on nurses and patients is paramount to halting this epidemic. Researchers' decade-old call for administrators and managers to correct this occupational hazard is ineffective in decreasing the effects of prolonged work-related stress on nurses. Staff development educators' modeling proactive conflict resolution skills can empower nurses to create therapeutic environments for themselves and patients.
