An organization consistent with this factor will promote the idea that the role of the nurses is essential in the general framework of the patients' care. The nurses here are perceived as essential to the care of the patients with very special needs. The organization has not necessarily promoted this in any way, but the way the nurses worked and their high level of professionalism was proof.

13. Interdisciplinary relationships. This factor comprises the idea of respect in the organization. There are several levels of respect involved here. First of all, we are referring to respect for the organization in itself and for the mission and objectives that the organization has promoted. On the other hand, an organization scoring high in this factor will need to ensure a mutual respect between all the human resources involved in the organization's activity, starting with physicians and nurses a continuing with therapists and other members.

Respect is present throughout the organization, all the personnel being constantly interested in providing the best possible care for their patients.

14. Professional development. The professional development factor ensures that the organization has set for itself a long-term strategic goal in constantly improving the capacity of the human resource that it benefits from. There were several factors that ensured that the organization was a learning organization, this factor now sets the premise for a continuous career development.

As the organization provides only acute rehabilitation services, the professional development in other segments of medical healthcare is significantly limited. However, the organization provides for the professional development of nurses in different segments of acute rehabilitation.

3) the most important strength of the organization is the quality of the nursing staff. Most of the staff has years of experience in similar positions and is able to react to any of the challenges that might appear. The members of the staff with greater experience are able to be teachers and provide useful information to the younger nurses and the organization is organized successfully as...

Further more, the organization benefits from a decentralized management, with five main units that can react on their own and where the nurses are required to take decisions on their own and be responsible and accountable for them.
Among the most important weaknesses is the organization's budget, not necessarily limited, but often not enough to face the financial challenges in a health care field that often has particular needs. The units often require the newest medical instruments to improve the conditions of the patients. At the same time, more financial resources might need to be directed towards consultation resources and resources, for a constant improvement of personnel performance.

4) the most important argument in favor of the organization's capacity to recruit, retain, and support a qualified workforce is the fact that this is a learning organization, where the staff with greater experience will be able to rapidly include and integrate new employees and to provide the necessary background knowledge to successfully perform their job. In this sense, the time needed for a new employee to join the staff and grow accustomed to the requirements of the organization is relatively limited.
