Method: Students completed a sustainability in nursing learning module, over a 4-week period, during which students created blog posts based on the learning materials and clinical practice observations. The Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey questionnaire was incorporated to measure changes in student attitudes regarding sustainability. Results: Descriptive statistics indicated that students had higher average scores on the posttest for all variables except one measurement. Paired Descriptive statistics indicated that students had higher average scores on the posttest for all variables except one measurement. Paired t-test results revealed statistically significant differences in nine sustainability attitude items in the pretest and posttest scores. These findings suggest that the intervention likely contributed to improved attitudes about sustainability in the workplace. Conclusion: Results of this study are promising because the brief intervention had a significant effect on practicing nurses' attitudes about sustainability in their work environments.
