From the Paper:

"Finally, because Bellevue has repeatedly demonstrated the willingness to listen to the concerns of nurses and institute policies that support their beliefs, the institution functions in a manner that values its staff. When workers in an organization understand that they are valued, workers desire to support the goals of the organization, creating a working system that is successful over the long term. At Bellevue Medical Center the system not only supports the individual, it supports all community groups and focuses on populations that would otherwise be incapable of receiving health care. For nurses that desire to make a significant difference in the lives of people, this incentive alone demonstrates a positive draw to the nursing professional that supports the reasons that many nurses entered the field in the first place."
