    The changes necessitated by healthcare reform and consequences of the economy are challenging hospital administrators to decide how they will thrive and respond. A change instituted by the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) at the hospital where I am employed is the discontinuation of special pay practices. The special pay practices involved are compensation for 40 hours per week when actual worked hours are 36 and compensation for at least a 4 hour minimum. This change has a positive financial impact which allows for growth of the organization. However, if not managed…

    To me, being a professional nurse leader means helping other achieve their highest potential though education and competency training. According to Zimmerman (2013), the nursing professional assists and leads nursing staff though changes in technology, clinical outcomes and the need for new models of care. As I obtain additional education and knowledge in leadership my perception of the role of the nurse will change from a clinical, direct patient care model to a complex system of policy, leadership, technology, community health, clinical outcomes and evidence based practice nursing. My view of nursing will be broadened as I learn the framework behind leading and managing other nursing staff.…

    Handoff In Nursing

    Handoff and transitions are an integral component of nurse to nurse communications during a shift. The information gathered within the scope of a handoff is incorporated into the patient’s plan of care for that day, and helps to facilitate multi-level team collaboration which also utilizes this information. Currently there is an estimated, “80 percent of medical errors are due to communication failure during the handoff process”(Robins & Dai, 2015, p. 264). The purpose of this quality improvement project is to increase the education of nursing staff in the critical care setting, to streamline the delivery of handoffs, as well as the implementation of a standardized checklist-based handoff tool that will narrow the gap in communication breaches.…

    The practice of nursing has changed throughout the years since the beginning when Florence Nightingale defined modern nursing. As a professional nurse, we must show competent and skillful behaviors when providing care for our patients. We must practice with dignity, honor, and the desire to relieve and prevent suffering. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the concepts of teaching and learning, management, communication, and leadership will change and evolve throughout our career as professional nurses. We each can make an impact on each patient that we come into contact with throughout our career by practicing professionally and putting our patients priority’s first.…

    At the beginning of the term I reflected on my successes and downfalls from the previous term and developed goals. My first goal was to complete the assessment portion of patient care in one appointment by the end of the term. I was able to accomplish this goal right away, and with almost every patient I saw, which I am proud of. My second goal was to accurately chart restorations, using detailed surfaces, and other dental appliances. Again, I was able to achieve this goal and as a result became much better at dental charting. My final goal was to detect and remove calculus at 75% accuracy, which I was also able to accomplish by the end of the term.…

    Life is full of change and transitions. I had to transition from high school to college, living with my parents to being on my own, and easy prerequisite courses to extremely difficult nursing courses that challenged me intellectually and emotionally. In a few short weeks, I will experience my most important transition to date, moving from a nursing student to a working RN. It is a thrilling but daunting concept. Other than babysitting, I have never had an official job. I have been blessed with never having to pay bills, file taxes, budget my finances, or take out loans. As a working RN, these are some of the challenges that await me; however, this is not the greatest challenge that I will face as a new graduate nurse.…
