provides the power of choice for each team member to select the appropriate setting for the task at hand. For instance, a centralized nurse's station
with zoned work areas or a hybrid inpatient model that permits charting
in a patient's room or in the corridor both support staff with efficient and
convenient work spaces while offering options that support personal preferences. Millennials, who are more likely to value team-oriented settings,
can find collaborative spaces to learn from more experienced colleagues,
while those looking for "heads down" time can use workstations tucked
within the nurse's station yet still remain engaged with the department.
3. AMENITIES
Limited both by the nature of work schedules
and the restrictions of infection control, staff
amenities in healthcare must be more integrated within the built environment than the
add-ons and flashy perks of ping-pong tables or
private fitness rooms that are commonplace in
some corporate settings. For nurses who are often more concerned about where they can store
their water bottles for easy access, amenities
that afford convenience or caring and comfort
are especially important. Breakrooms inspired
by the arrangement of local coffee shops, for example, can be activated as flexible spaces with
bar tops to plug in and stay connected, round
tops to enjoy a quick bite, and lounge chairs for
a small break or casual conversation. Elsewhere,
offstage work zones create private areas where
staff can focus on specific tasks or even make important social and professional connections.
2. MINDFULNESS
While wellness rooms, meditation spaces, and yoga classes seem more at
home in trendy tech startups, nurses may benefit from a similar approach.
Emotionally invested in a long list of patients and even longer shifts with
little time to use the restroom, grab a bite, or make a quick call, nurses are
especially vulnerable to fatigue and burnout. Intentional, quiet respite
areas can offer "me moments" for nurses to regroup between patient visits, encouraging a more human and balanced culture. Serene images, music, and lighting can be strategically used to enhance these spaces, while
windows with views to the outdoors and inviting lounge furniture or pods
create purposeful breaks that help nurses maintain their energy and positivity to deliver sustained quality of care throughout the day. Situating
these spaces along common paths of staff circulation encourages nurses to
take care of themselves and establishes a culture of well-being throughout.

While the residential trend has made its way to
patient waiting rooms to bring added comfort
