Goals and Learning Outcomes

Nurses work in a high-stress, high-stakes profession, and perform work that is physically and emotionally demanding for long hours. Researchers have found that a healthy work environment, along with finding meaning and joy in one’s work, is fundamental to decreasing nurse burnout and traumatic stress and preventing nurses from leaving their jobs. Creating a healthy workplace and ensuring that nurses derive pleasure from their jobs require showing them appreciation for who they are and meaningful recognition for a job well done. This course provides nurses with definitions of appreciation and meaningful recognition, examples of both, and explanations of how they can best be provided for professional nurses.

The goal of this course is to provide nurses with knowledge of the impact of nursing reward and recognition on individual nurses, patients, and healthcare organizations.


After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Differentiate employee appreciation and employee recognition, and characteristics of each.
  • Describe meaningful recognition and its effects on the work environment, nurse engagement, and patient and family experience.
  • Identify positive and negative characteristics of existing nursing reward and recognition programs.
  • List considerations when designing a nursing recognition program.
