It is VITAL! If I am not in a position where I am myself and comfortable there is no way I can work to my full potential! The environment directly effects that, so if it is faultered...on some level so am I!
Plus I do believe that nurses are professionals and deserve respect for what we do...why not make it as work friendly as possible...

I have posted on a couple threads where some new grads had said that they really were undecided what "unit" they want to start in...... as long as it is a good work environment.
I agree with this. I just quit a job that I was miserable at... Amoung many things, like no orientation, short staff, etc.. I often worked with nurses that made me feel uncomfortable when I asked a question, or just had snippy attitudes all the time.
Now, I am the kind of person that loves to find fun in my work and I like to laugh and make the most out of my day. I couldnt do this with these people, except with one nurse who took me under her wing when she noticed that I was struggling and unhappy. When I worked with her I FELT like a nurse and it didnt matter how hard the day went, I always felt like if I had a question or needed help she would be there for without making me feel horrilbe.
What do yall think? Is a good work environment important to you?? Or can you work in a tense environment without any problems???
