This article describes the outcomes of a foundation grant directed toward strengthening hospital nursing groups to improve patient care. The OR director and the grant‐sponsored group facilitator at MeritCare Hospital, Fargo, ND, describe a systems approach to resolving pervasive conduct issues (eg, verbal abuse) in the surgical suite, thereby cultivating a positive work environment for perioperative staff members.
