Creating Disability Inclusive Work Environments For Our Aging Nursing Workforce

 

 

     The workforce is aging, and the implications of an older nursing

 

 workforce are profound. As nurses age, injuries and disabilities are

 

more prevalent. If disabilities were more commonly recognized and

 

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.
