The culture killing your career isn't the patients. It's the colleagues.
Renee Thompson, DNP, RN, FAONL, FAAN, CSP has spent 32 years in nursing and the last 15 building one of healthcare's most important movements: a structured, proven approach to ending bullying and incivility in the workplace. As CEO and Founder of the Healthy Workforce Institute, she has seen what toxic culture does to nurses, to teams, and to patients, and she refuses to accept it as inevitable.
In this episode of Nurse Rosa's INsights, Renee breaks down why incivility is a patient safety issue, not just a morale problem, and what nurses and leaders can do right now to change the culture on their unit.
In this episode:
- Why subtle, normalized workplace behaviors are more dangerous than the dramatic blowups
- The founding story of the Healthy Workforce Institute
- How the Healthy Workforce Framework gives organizations a real path forward
- The direct connection between disrespect, staff turnover, and patient outcomes
- How AI is expanding the reach of culture change in healthcare
