Caring for our Staff


     In long term care, we focus our efforts on caring for our residents.  This is an important part of our work.  As a leader, do you think about caring for your staff with the same focus?  We can build better relationships with our staff when we acknowledge their struggles.  In the Nurses as Leaders Curriculum developed by Barbara Frank and Cathy Brady1 the needs of the staff are viewed from Maslow’s Hierarcy2.
