Abstract

Appropriate staffing and its impact on the work environment have been a topic of discussion throughout nursing history. The COVID-19 pandemic combined with an unprecedented nursing shortage propelled health care leaders to create care delivery models to reduce the registered nurses’ workload and improve their work environment. This research analyzed the impact of a team-based licensed practical nurse–registered nurse patient care delivery model (LPN-RN_CDM) on the work environment. Using the Nursing Work Index to measure the impact, the results demonstrated that the LPN-RN_CDM can be used as a staffing solution strategy to stabilize the nursing workforce and manage staffing complexities.
