Principles of Delegation

It would be easier for me to engage in the delegation process, using the principles of delegation, with an aim of ensuring that each of the patients receives the best quality of medical care while in the facility. In addition, these principles will also play a central role in building an environment of trust and confidence between members of the team, thus, allowing them to engage in effective performance.

Determination of Duties to Delegate

The first principle that would apply to the case is a determination of what is to be delegated based on the number of patients that the team would handle at ...

The nursing practice constantly experiences challenges related to different aspects of care. Resolving these challenges effectively is determined by the leadership and the management in nursing. Nursing leadership and nursing management are terms that are persistently confused and interchanged, despite the different meanings of the terms. Understanding the meaning and contribution of leadership and management to nursing is critical in resolving common issues affecting the nursing profession. The purpose of this paper is to investigate a nursing issue and compare and contrast how nurse leaders and nurse managers would approach this problem. This exercise will facilitate identification of the ...

Introduction The term management and leadership are often interchanged and interpreted as the same, but that is not always the case in nursing profession. This is because not every nurse can be considered as a good leader, and the same can be said about nursing leaders that are not necessarily managers. Primarily, a nursing manager holds the decision-making power in assigning organizational position, and is expected to carry out control over specific duties and processes. On the other hand, leaders may not have the same authority as managers, but the power that nursing leader posses is inherited from their ...

Rapid Appraisal

The impacts of nursing inputs on the quality care provided in nursing homes was investigated and found that mix staffing process can effectively optimize the organization standard and reduce the patient adverse outcomes (Hendrix, 2001, para.25). The statistical outcomes of this study present valuable data that is relevant to the proposed issue. The study outcomes demonstrated that the costs of care for decubitus ulcers significantly reduces with the presence of RNs and NAs while it increases with the LPN presence, indicating the significance of delegating appropriate staff for appropriate work as it can effectively improve patient outcomes and reduce ...

Introduction

Health care organizations face two main challenges, which include a shortage of staff and the high turnover rates due to poor job satisfaction. The issues are compromising the quality of care offered at the respective institutions, hence call for a need to be resolved (Lehmann & Rennie, 2016). The purpose of the above study is to inform on the impact of the two issues to health care organizations and the necessary recommendations to help solve the problem.

The Two Issues the organization is facing

The nursing shortage is a worldwide challenge, and globally, the health care demand has tremendously increased over the recent past. This comes with ...

The following is the systematic critique of the article titled, “Implementing a Competence Framework for Administering Medication: Reporting the Experiences of Mental Health Nurses and Students in the UK” (Hemingway et al., 2012). The nursing critique has been done in accordance with the guidelines provided in the article title, “Step-by-step guide to critiquing research. Part 2: qualitative research” (Ryan, Coughlan and Cronin, 2007). The research article is published in the journal of Issues in Mental Health Nursing, which is a peer reviewed journal. The research article by Hemingway et al., 2012, is a qualitative study that employs an assortment ...

1. Problem Identification Merely documenting the scope of work that an employee is supposed to undertake does not mean that the employee will remain in the job to carry out their duties. For example, just by delegating duties to nurses in homecare such that some handle admission of clients (start of homecare), re-admission (continuation of or resuming home care) and discharge (Tourangeau et al. 2014). Although this will free other regular visiting nurses hence allowing them to concentrate on the visits themselves, retaining the nurses on the job calls for more hence an improvement of the nurses ITR. Though ...

Management is important in nowadays health care environment. Like any other organization, transparent management is essential in nursing to ensure rendering of services in the right manner. Several management styles are being used in nursing with some being more effective than others are. Participative management style also referred to as democratic management, is one of the commonly used styles in nursing. It allows involvement of all the employees in every level of decision making. In return, the employee productivity and morale are boosted (Smith, 2015, p. 49). The employees own the decisions made and hence take their responsibilities and ...

Decision-making is a cognitive process that aims at selecting a course of action that is best among several alternative possibilities. Every decision that is made ends up producing a final choice that may or may not prompt an action (Kohlen et al., 2015). The decision-making process should be logical if the best alternative option is to be arrived at. During the decision-making process, a nurse manager must weigh both the positive and negative alternatives associated with each available option before arriving at the best decision. Consequently, a nurse manager must also be in a position to forecast the outcome ...

Leadership in nursing has many facets, and can incorporate establishing a clear objective or target, organizing nursing activities effectively and providing motivation for others to achieve the organizational goals (Porter-O’Grady, 2003). On a daily basis, leadership in nursing could also require a senior nurse to coordinate the activities of the nurses on staff, as well as any support staff. The operation and efficiency of any hospital can depend on how effective it senior nurses are at managing shifts, employee morale and a host of problems and issues that can crop up on a regular basis. Thus, the management ...

For a long time now, nurses have been fighting against inadequate staffing and the outcomes that such issues have on them and the patients under their care. Additionally, the ever ballooning needs of the health care system have resulted in the number of patients requiring care going above the available healthcare personnel (Aiken, et al., 2014). As such, the available nurses presently working in the country, both at the state and the federal level are overwhelmed by the responsibilities bestowed on them. From the foregoing, therefore, it is evident that finding the optimal level of the nurse-to-patient ratio has ...

Impact of Nursing Leadership on Patient Care

Introduction Management and leadership are distinct and interconnected concepts that govern the organizational aspects of planning, organizing, and monitoring the provision of service. Effective management requires ideal leadership qualities; these aspects develop a shared sense of mission that helps achieve the organizational goals while minimizing any organization, political, and resource barrier (Kotter, 1996). Nursing leadership and management are primary and integral aspects of the provision of innovative, quality, and cost-efficient patient care. In particular, nursing leadership and management encompass a wide range of leadership qualities including delivering clinical care, enhancing patient care coordination, as well as boosting quality improvement ...

Abstract

The methods used by nurses to learn technical or complex responsibilities affect their effectiveness and subsequently, the quality of care and services received by patients and families. This underscores the importance of conducting nursing management orientation in a manner that promises effective management. It is evident that the modern-day nursing has evolved into a complex field that is tied to a myriad of factors such as technology. On the other hand, nursing standards and principles are ever-evolving, creating the need for exposure to these changes for new nurse managers. Equally the scope of practice for nurse managers is evolving and ...

Introduction

The vast changes in modern and complex health care settings lead to face several challenges by nursing leadership (Reinhard & Hassmiller, 2012). To acquire dynamic roles the nurse leaders need more skills of management to carry out their professional performances. These nurse leaders are also responsible to provide a vision which will motivate the junior staffs and other employees that may help in survival of health care organizations and can achieve high potentials and increased quality in patient care (Spencer et al. 2009). Working in trans-cultural health are requires more skills and effectual communication among all departments and sectors in health ...

Impact of the IOM (2010) report on nursing education, practice, and leadership

With a membership of more than 3 million, nursing is the largest healthcare workforce in the United States (US) (Smith, 2011). Due to their close proximity to and intimate knowledge of patients, nurses can play a significant role in the transformation of the US healthcare system. Nurses, however, are prevented from fully participating in the transformation of the healthcare system by numerous barriers (Institute of Medicine (IOM), 2010). The IOM in its 2010 report entitled “ ...

Leadership in nursing is usually defined differently by various people. Personally, I believe that leadership entails influencing and engaging people in a shared vision. It is oriented towards the achievement of goals and has close relations to team process and groups dynamics. Leadership as a key skill is required in almost all levels of nursing (Sofarelli & Brown, 1998). The skill enables nurses as well as the nursing staff to lead via example, develop themselves and generally influence care that is not only an open but that is also responsive to the individual needs of patients (Sellgren et al., 2006). A nurse ...

The intended outcomes of the project were increases in staff nurse recruitment and retention and staff nurse job satisfaction. Retention rate is the number of nurses who separated from the correctional facility divided by the total number of registered nursing staff, while job satisfaction is the score obtained from a job satisfaction survey. The effects of the mentorship program on the selected outcomes are best determined at six months or one year after implementation. Following the evaluation conducted three months after the implementation, however, the retention rate increased by 1.6% which is small but still an improvement. There were also ...

Introduction

Nursing is a very significant medical field, and it is served with the responsibility of defining the type and nature of treatment that is to be provided to a patient. In the contemporary nursing practice, nurses are expected to exhibit elements of leadership, a trait defined as a practice of social influence where a specific individual influence others in accomplishing a common task (Blais, 2006). Therefore, this paper explores elements leadership in nursing practice, and determines how such a culture can be propagated to provide quality nursing care.

Communication in Nursing

The basic communication elements are (1) the sender, (2) the channel, (3) the receiver, and (4) the message. All of those elements need to be unambiguous to achieve effective communication, which means that the sender must send a clear message to the receiver through an appropriate channel. Effective communication is critical in healthcare because it affects patient safety, treatment outcomes, conflict resolution, and job satisfaction. However, various factors other than the basic communication elements affect the quality of communication in healthcare. Those factors include the organisational structure, leadership and management styles, organisational culture, staff motivation, and the organisational goals.

Management theory in nursing

Introduction An organization that relies on many components for the execution of a task needs the various components to work in harmony for the achievement of the main objective. Where the input to this process is composed of human capital, the process is leadership/ management. Management therefore, is the guidance of different individuals in accomplishment of individual tasks towards the accomplishment of the mains task. Nursing is human resource intensive occupation, with the nurses being an integral component towards the successful accomplishment of nursing. The manner in which the nurses, therefore, conduct their duties is important for the success ...

I am currently implementing my practicum project in a correctional nurse setting. The focus is on improving staff retention, motivation, and job satisfaction, thereby reducing the staff turnover, by employing mentorship as a strategy in enhancing the work environment and promoting the development of less-experienced nurses. Project planning and implementation was done by a team with the use of participatory approaches to ensure staff buy-in and commitment. I have already completed two quarters in NURS 8600. The activities include an organizational needs assessment; survey tool selection or development to measure baseline and post-intervention staff data on motivation, intent to stay, and ...

The six learning objectives and related activities that will guide my practicum hours are as follows:

1. Develop skills in searching and applying research evidence into practice – activities will include familiarization with using search terms to locate relevant literature, assessing the literature for appropriateness, synthesizing evidence, and presenting them to stakeholders for consideration and informed decision-making. The organizational needs analysis and the collection of HRD data also fall under this objective. 2. Develop skills in collaborating with the nurse researcher, nurse educator, and senior nurses in project implementation - reading on the meaning of collaboration and the principles that guide effective collaboration will give me a background on the concept (Nancarrow et al., 2013) ensuring ...

Nursing shortage is directly tethered to the low retention rates and not unless drastic steps are taken to avert this problem, the entire healthcare system is set to experience a hard time ahead. Therefore, this paper intends to explore what are the probable causes of this problem and subsequently give recommendations on the best evidence-based approaches to resolve the issue. Overwhelming evidence shows high levels of work stress and dissatisfaction ...

Method of obtaining approval(s) and securing support

Any new project or proposed plan requires a careful implementation plan in the light of specific risks and requirements which may emerge during this phase. While the program may be viable from a planning and designing point of view, the implementation process is characterized by putting up of structures and resources to see to it the workability of the proposed plan or solution. Thus, as a designer is critical that you engage with the leadership within the organization as well as fellow staff so as to minimize the chances of resistance to the proposed solution. Resistance is always inevitable. However, careful consideration ...

Introduction

Workplace bullying is a major problem that has continually escalated in many health care organizations in the United States. Similar to other professions nurses experience bullying in places of work, and this subsequently affects the delivery of services by the affected nurses. Bullying in nursing has various impacts on the working environment of nurses and provision of quality health care to patients. Workplace bullying has adverse effects on the nursing profession. It is described as repetitive abuse whereby the victim suffers from bullying behaviors such as verbal abuse, physical assault, intimidation, humiliation or threats issued by the perpetrator (Murray, 2009). ...

Tillot et al. (2013) identifies that nursing shortage is a result of an aging workforce, aging population, job dissatisfaction, shortage within the nursing faculty and the lack of an engaging and collaborative environment is care settings. Tillot et al. (2013) utilized a systematic review of past literature aimed at assessing the factors that deny the workers an opportunity to engage their colleagues constructively in practice. The study notes that the management should focus on developing an environment where communication and staff collaboration and engagement is considered a primary element of the organizational culture. The study is highly applicable in nursing practice since ...

Nursing is a well-known profession of the health care sector that focuses upon taking care of the patients, individuals, and even families in the absence of the doctors. In addition, they also support the doctors in their various medication activities of the patients, which in turn would help in the recovery of the patients. With the recent developments in the field of nursing, we can differentiate this profession on the basis of patient care, scope of practice, and the management style of the organization (Bartels, 2005). This paper will first of all discuss the nursing paradigms and nursing theories. I ...

Leadership is essential to the successful management in the field of nursing. However, nursing leaders and employees have different views on the type of leadership style to be adapted for best results. Owing to the challenges in the nursing leadership, re-evaluation of current managerial tactics is necessary. A nurse leader must master delegation because it constitutes a critical portion of the effective leadership and success in the patient care. Since we live in a multi-cultural nation; good leaders should consider all aspects of a person including cultural diversity. Time management skills, self-efficacy and assertive communication are the other significant qualities of nurse ...

The quiz “What’s Your Leadership Style” indicates that my style of leadership is predominantly participative. In other words, I am open to input from group members when decision-making and problem-solving are required, but my decision is always final. That is consistent with my belief about my leadership style. I prefer to have a final say in decision-making or problem-solving because the leader takes responsibility for the outcomes. However, I also understand that input from team members is valuable because the decisions I make affect the entire team. According to Kouzes and Posner (2009), honesty and planning ahead are ...

The role of a nurse has evolved from assisting the doctor to making important decisions regarding patient treatment methods. Nurses have also assumed a crucial, decisive role in hospital administration, which has tremendous influence on how treatment is provided to the patients. As such, they perform leadership functions, including planning, leading, and organizing the patients’ activities, apart from providing medical care and assistance to patient needs. In recent years, the nursing profession has been facing a lot of serious issues due to shortage of nurses and high turnover percentages. Despite the apparent high demand for nurses, the industry is not able to ...

Leadership and management are important aspects of organizational operation. An effective manager requires the proper leadership skills to succeed in his leadership position. Similarly, an effective leader needs proper management skills in order to lead his team effectively. Unlike other forms of nursing, travel and registry nursing entails handling employees, who might not be part of the organization’s permanent employment schedule. In both cases, managers and leaders handle employees working on a contractual basis to provide health care services under the leadership and management of their contractor. In registry nursing, also known as nursing agency, a business is contracted by ...

A transformational leader is a person influences practice and motivates individuals to perform to their best in delivery of required services that aim to achieve organizational goals and objectives. In the hospital set up, clinical leaders inspire their staff to work towards a common vision, challenge the way things are done in the clinical practice and influence as well as motivate others to practice evidence based nursing. Translating evidence into practice as a nursing leader is a rewarding endeavor to both the leader and the staff. My vision as a leader is to adopt a leadership style that will enhance continuous professional development that ...

Introduction

Emergency nursing involves the treatment of patients in emergency situations. Such patients could be experiencing trauma or injury.

Oxygen and Respiratory Disease

Part 1: Introduction Oxygen and respiratory complications are closely associated with oxygen therapy. Long term oxygen treatment can help to make the quality of one’s life better. Oxygen therapy help COPD patients and those with hypoxaemia, low oxygen levels to live longer. Even if oxygen is prevalently used in hospitals, it has often been wrongly prescribed causing further complications to patients. The major indication for oxygen therapy is the respiratory failure. Respiratory failure involves the failure to keep up adequate gas exchange. Documentation in a number of hospitals fails to record the respiratory rate and other vital signs ...

An Overview of the Problem: Nurse Shortage and Turn Over

Gurus in human resource management define turn-over as a situation where an organization faces a problem of having to continuously recruit and train new employees due to unforeseen exit by the current employees. Where a health institution faces high nurse turnover, nurses resign and leave for organizations they consider better than the current. This usually happens where the nurses have a perception that the organization will not help them achieve their individual aims. It as well occurs where the nurses think that the leaders and managers prioritize policies that are not in lie with their personal and professional philosophies of nursing (Nagelkerk & Huber, ...

- What is the problem? There are two deep rooted problems that a nurse leader should be able to identify in this situation. The first problem is the increase in workload being experienced by the nurses as a result of the reorganization. This is compounded by the change in institutional procedures, assignments, and companions. The offshoot of these changes brings about the second problem which is the low morale experienced by the staff nurses. - What are the key issues? Studies have indicated that there is a relation between healthy workplace environments, well-cared for patients and the well-being of ...

As the current medical world continues to progress, it has become an integral point for hospitals to have ongoing quality improvements.

One of the factors that affect human resource management is organization structure and development. At a supervisory level, managers have more control to influence the performance of an organization. Managers that portray organizational commitment motivate employees and create an atmosphere of job satisfaction. This increases the performance of an organization (Armstrong, 2008). According to Armstrong (2009), motivation especially in terms of money plays a significant role in influencing employee performance. However, one needs to note that money, as a motivating factor will be effective as long as the money strongly motivates the employees. The general desire to serve and help other ...

The capability of professionals in the same or other disciplines to work collaboratively to deliver effective care to patients is regarded as a crucial component of professional practice involving a definite set of proficiencies. Proficiencies are defined as expansive, general capabilities that extend beyond knowledge achievement and consist of utilization of technical, clinical, problem solving and communication skills. Recent studies reveal that there are a variety of proficiencies required to work successfully within an interprofessional environment in healthcare. Ability to tolerate dissimilarity, appreciating roles of other health professionals, conflict resolution, comprehending group norms and communication are some of the most emphasized competencies ( ...

While I am aware the health care system and hospitals already face enough problems with budgeting and caring for patients, the inter-hospital politics threaten to disrupt whatever cohesion is still felt by the varying members of the medical community. Nurses, in particular, have an especially hard job, their duties falling somewhere between doctor and assistant, while receiving neither the pay or slack of either. The micro politics inherent in the health care industry can, often, impede the ability of the nurse to maintain a balanced work/life setting, as well as prevent them from caring for the patient in the best ...
