“…From early in my graduate school years, I focused on the circular relationship of health Pdf_Folio:270 impacts of climate change and environmental sustainability in the health-care industry.

The nursing tradition is rich in service and selflessness, which has helped contribute to our reputation as a widely respected and trusted profession. Inadvertently, however, a selfless approach can deter nursing leaders from elevating their stories as models of success. In the interest of highlighting the narratives of emerging nurse leaders, this article presents the stories of four nurses from across the United States who are working within the realm of environmental health. From climate change to lead poisoning, and from environmental advocacy to community health education, these four nursing leaders from the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE) embody what it means to tackle the challenges of environmental health with courage, innovation, and tenacity.

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated staffing challenges in intensive care units, with increased burnout and moral distress cited as major problems. A healthy work environment is critical to nurses’ success and wellbeing. During the pandemic, a survey by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses revealed decreased composite scores in each of the 6 critical elements of a healthy work environment. Hospital units that improved even 1 critical element reported higher job satisfaction. The use of telehealth tools by expert nurses expanded care delivery during the pandemic by improving response to acutely and critically ill patients while supporting hospital-based nurses. All of the critical elements of a healthy work environment are relevant to the tele–critical care nurse’s role and challenges. This article describes how tele–critical care nurses were affected by the pandemic and how healthy work environment strategies promoted successful nurse and patient outcomes.
