This article describes and explains variables known to be associated with the work environment of nurses in nursing homes, including the history and characteristics of nursing homes; the nature of nursing work; the nursing skill mix, and care delivery. Nursing leadership has the potential to transform the nursing home work environment and improve quality of care through education, research, advocacy, and implementation of evidence-based practices.
