It then describes the complexity involved in coping, as nursing is a complex, emotional, and importantly, a caring profession. Subsequently, resiliency is elaborated upon as it relates to its development within nursing. Resiliency is the key to maintaining caring nurses and quality care within the challenging healthcare environment.
