Overview:
This week we are going to explore Occupational Wellness. This is one piece of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness to help us create a healthier life. 
Occupational Wellness is:
“Preparing for and participating in work that provides personal satisfaction and life enrichment that is consistent with your values, goals, and lifestyle
Contributing your unique gifts, skills, and talents to work that is personally meaningful and rewarding” (Stoewen, 2017, p. 861).
To be part of the ‘Healthy Workforce’ you read about this week, you will be in search of Occupational Wellness. In Week 1, you identified the kind of leader you work best with. In this assignment, you will take this a step further and identify additional characteristics of an environment in which you will thrive. 
Instructions:
In a 2-page submission, record your answers on a Word document. 
1. Describe what success looks like to you in the workplace. Are you intrinsically or extrinsically motivated to do your job well? Give examples.
2. Describe your perfect nursing job. Dream big! Include in the discussion the kinds of tasks you enjoy, the kinds of clients you want to care for, and/or what the work culture would resemble. Be specific in your description. This is the kind of environment you will seek when you begin searching for nursing jobs.
3. How do you think a manager should or does contribute to an employee’s Occupational Wellness? Is a manager responsible for your Occupational Wellness? Why or why not? Discuss.
4. Consider this statement: “Happy workers are more productive.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give examples of how you have experienced this in the workforce.
5. Many organizations have a formal mentorship/preceptorship program for new graduate nurses. Discuss the benefits of having such a program to the mentor, the mentee, and the organization. How could a mentorship contribute to Occupational Wellness?
