In real estate, location is key. It now seems the same concept holds true when it comes to stopping pain.

Nurses faced with abusive managers are more likely to quit. But a recent study by Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières researchers finds that the opposite is also true – transformational leadership - a style of management in which employees are encouraged to work towards a collective goal within a supportive milieu, is linked to nurses’ well-being, and has positive impacts upon job retention.
