Abstract
Recent studies call for a broader understanding of nurse staffing across the practice continuum, integrating holistic views of the nurse. The quality of nursing work life (QNWL) tool responses provide these perspectives. This mixed-methods statewide study identified QNWL and safe/appropriate staffing and legislative solutions for workplace gaps in QNWL and safe/appropriate staffing. Organizational or legislative policy changes can address unsafe staffing and improve QNWL.
