CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN NURSING PRACTICE 2
Introduction
The work environment of a nursing officer like any typical job faces an array of
challenges. It therefore becomes important that a nurse in whichever leadership position must
find ways to address these challenges to bring about cohesion and teamwork. It, therefore,
