A descriptive, comparative design was used to examine the Revised Professional Practice Environment Scale (RPPE) and financial indicators of nurses over a 6-month period. A convenience sample of RNs from each unit was recruited via email sent from the research team with a link to an anonymous research survey. Participation was voluntary. Twenty three RNs comprised the total sample, 12 from the HW unit and 11 from the SW unit. This constitutes a 52.3% response rate. Financial indicators were examined using unit budgets and average daily census (ADC) data.
