Abstract
Nursing leaders in ambulatory care may experience high levels of work-related stress and dissatisfaction with the number of hours they were working, and this dissatisfaction may result in higher turnover among nursing leadership.
The purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to develop a flexible scheduling option for nursing leaders practicing in ambulatory care at Rochester Regional Health to promote leader wellbeing and role satisfaction.
Results indicated that leadership satisfaction with their role and the amount of time spent working with nursing staff increased. Perceptions of work-life balance improved as did their interprofessional relationships. A decrease in the average number of weekly hours worked were also reported.
As a result of the success of the pilot program, the flexible scheduling option was expanded to become a permanent scheduling option for all nurse managers in good standing and who have completed orientation practicing in ambulatory care. Future plans include expanding the flexible scheduling option to other nursing leadership roles.
