There are many strategies that I can use to create change in my current workplace. One of them is to develop alliances and social support systems that can legitimize, nurture, and stimulate related change-actions. Such alliances and social support will focus on healthcare institutions that legitimize and foster healthy life-style in work setting. In this perspective, I will use the power of nursing organizations and establish a broad coalitions to maximize workplace protections for nursing staff, patients, and other stakeholders. Nursing organizations represent an influencing force that can generate demand and pressure for health-supportive environment and policies that benefit healthcare staff and patients.

            The second strategy I will use is empowerment. That is, I will use the arm of empowerment to equip co-workers and others with the knowledge, values and skills that inspire real action for grow.  

The third strategy has to do with the change for transforming the culture. This approach calls for personal involvement. Consider yourself as the principal driven force that leads to change.  That is, imagine how you can play a dynamic, an active role in altering your culture. By embracing this mind-set, ‘when you put skin in the game, you become the change that transforms the culture’

Zolierek (2012), defined advocacy as using “one’s position to support, protect, or speak out for the rights and interests of another”.  As nurses, it is in our pledge and scope of practice to advocate and protect the safety and rights of all of our patients. A change in the workplace culture would increase patient safety and patient satisfaction. Healthcare is changing and we must be able to adapt and change along with facing the challenges that come with change. To make a change, we need to create an environment that will infuse energy and commitment to the team and the whole organization. The first step in advocating for the transforming the culture is actually being the change. We must each understand the power, influence, and the ability to see and understand the culture in which we each work and how we can play a role in inspiring and transforming the culture. The second step would be to embrace the opportunity. This would be stepping out of our “comfort zone” and not letting fear or embarrassment confine us but we step out with excitement. We should provide positive effects to each of the individuals we are influencing. Be a role model and mentor. A third step is being a team player. Allow opportunities for feed-back or one-on-one conversations. We should create an environment for our team to have to room to learn, grow, and be encouraged by new ideas.
