A paucity of programs, policies, procedures, and research exists regarding workplace reintegration for nurses facing mental health challenges. It is imperative to recognize that nurses may experience OSIs, necessitating mental health support, time off work, and operationally/culturally-specific assistance in returning to work. Innovative and evidence-based approaches to workplace reintegration are needed to enhance the retention of a skilled, experienced, compassionate, and healthy nursing workforce.
