The workforce is aging, and the implications of an older nursing
workforce are profound. As nurses age, injuries and disabilities are

accommodated in the design of our nursing work environments,
we could meet future needs. This article explores the literature on
accommodations for an aging workforce, reports disabilities
commonly seen in this population, and introduces universal design.
