" (Grossman & Valiga, p. 165)
The text goes on to assert that the creation of such an environment should be at least in part facilitated by the establishment of open lines of communication. here nurses feel free to voice concerns, express positions based on professional experience and contribute to courses of treatment, feelings of morale and therefore performance levels are both likely to be higher. Therefore, the use of networking as a way of improving the multidirectional nature of communication is tantamount to helping reverse some of the negative personnel experiences demonstrated by the surveys.

As with networking, which calls for the improvement of professional lines of communication, we consider a more personal way of connecting with personnel as well. Developing Relationships is a critical part of helping to improve outcomes and experiences amongst nursing professionals. It is incumbent upon nurse leaders in this context to cultivate a sense of personal….

The purpose of the work.

The purpose of the work was to report results of a study testing Kanter's theory by examining relationships of structural empowerment, leader -- member exchange (LMX) quality and nurses' participation in personal knowledge transfer.

A summary of its content

The study results support Kanter's theory and the relationship between structural empowerment, LMX and nurses' participation in transfer of personal knowledge. The study concludes that health-care organizations should implement and promote policies for nurses' positive work environments so they feel empowered to transfer personal knowledge. It also concludes that nurse leaders should have relationships empowering knowledge transfer in keeping with professional standards.

Nursing leadership has a direct impact on patient outcomes and quality of care. From healthcare administration to policy decisions, from shift leadership and staff management, leadership is the cornerstone of nursing. Nurses and nurse educators are paying more attention to leadership, as research consistently shows how specific leadership styles and strategies impact specific patient outcome variables. For example, Wong, Cummings & Ducharme (2013) performed a systematic review of the literature and found that leadership is linked most directly to five categories of patient outcomes including patient satisfaction, mortality rates, adverse events, complications, and healthcare utilization. Therefore, strategic leadership is critical for the provision of effective patient care. Strong leadership creates the type of healthcare environment that is most conducive to quality of care delivery. Factors like operational organization and procedural efficiency are directly linked to leadership (Wong, Cummings & Ducharme, 2013). Likewise, staff management styles will also have a strong bearing….

, 2010). It is perfectly conceivable that this nurse leader would welcome more collaborative or shared leadership responsibilities, particularly since the setting for empirical clinical research on this very issue was, in fact, an ICU (osengren, Bondas, Nordholm, et al., 2010).
Finally, it appears from this interview subject's input into this project that she is a competent and effective nursing leader, largely by virtue of her description of her supervisory and administrative style and inclination. However, her input lacked any substantial data on the basis of which a reviewer could evaluate her effectiveness as a clinical leader more specifically. Those particular skill sets may occur in combination but they undoubtedly also occur individually within different leaders (Stanley & Sherratt, 2010). A review of historical literature (such as in connection with Florence Nightingale) clearly demonstrates that good nursing leaders may or may not necessarily also be equally good clinical leaders (Stanley &….

It has been shown through research to be critical that the organization make the provision of support for the nursing staff in terms of their education and provisioning career support as well through making time and financial allocations to provide the necessary support system in which the nursing staff may advance their education and hence their career. (Cook, Horz & Mildon, 2006; paraphrased citing the work of: Robinson, (2001 and Hinshaw (2002) Additionally falling within these provisions of support are time and financial allocations for "research, special projects and publications (Kramer & Schmalenberg, 1988; as cited by Cook, Horz, & Mildon, 2006) the research fact sheet includes the necessity for organizations to "Support a 'bias toward action' (Kramer & Schmalenberg, 1988; as cited by Cook, Horz, & Mildon, 2006); and to "Enhance nurse-staffing rations (Hinshaw, 2002; as cited by Cook, Horz, & Mildon, 2006) and lastly to provide encouragement….

Nursing Leadership Health Policy
Health Policy Change

The health policy change encompasses Medicare Part D. Medicare D. is also referred to as the Medicare prescription drug benefit. It is part of the Medicare program that is purposed to bankroll the cost of prescription drugs together with coverage payments for prescription drugs for Medicare recipients (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2016). The proposed policy change with respect to Medicare Part D is the reduction and lessening of generic drug copayments to zero. In particular, this alteration will be a form of encouragement for the use of generic drugs amongst Medicare enrollees that are poorer by all in all eradicating their costs for generic drugs. Majority of the members of Medicare Part D that are categorized as having low income give out minimal compensation or nil for Part D prescription drugs. In the past year, with respect to generics, the costs varied between….

leadership is a theory, developed by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard, that argues "successful leaders should change their leadership styles based on the maturity of the people they're leading and the details of the task" (MindTools, 2014). This contrasts with most views prevailing in leadership scholarship, which tend to argue that leaders will have one leadership style. The underlying argument that Hersey and Blanchard are making is that in this world, there are so many different situations that arise that a single leader with just one leadership style will never be as effective as a leader who can adapt his/her style to suit the situation.
According to the Hersey-Blanchard situational leadership theory, there are four main leadership styles -- telling, selling, participating and delegating. These are then applied to four different maturity levels. The authors argue that at the lowest maturity level, the leader needs to focus on telling/directing, and….

Structure and Process in Health Care Organizations and Health Care PolicyUnderstanding the relationship between health care organizations and policy has helped me to see how the quality and accessibility of health care services is shaped from the top down. This paper provides a self-assessment with respect to what I have learned regarding this relationship and what it means in the context of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Essentials and the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) competencies, which have served as guiding principles in this work. This paper also focuses on the role of advanced practice nurses in leading and influencing health care policy and organizational structures.eflection on the Course AchievementThroughout the DNP8100 course, I have been exposed to readings, discussions, and assignments that have significantly helped grow my understanding of health care. My self-assessment of the learning outcomes tells a great deal about what I now understand with….

Nursing Theories Practices
Nursing Theories

Sister Callista oy initiated the Adaptation Model of Nursing in 1976. The theory has since then evolved to be one of the prominent nursing theories. The nursing theory defines and explains the nursing care provisions. The model by oy sees an individual as a composite of systems with an interrelationship (including biological, social, and psychological). According to Haaf (2008), a person strives towards retaining a balance across the systems and the outside world, although absolute balance levels do not exist. Individuals work towards living in unique bands that they can adequately cope. The model has four major concepts of environment, person, nursing, and health and its application has six steps.

According to Kraszeski & McEwen (2010), a person is a representation of societal standards, principles, or focus. oy's model positions the individual as the bio-psychosocial being throughout a continually changing environment. The person allows for open and adaptive….

Problem Identification

The problem identified concerns about patient safety and satisfaction arising out of shortage in nurse staffing. In the contemporary times, staffing has become a major issue concerning nurses, generally, and in this paper we attend to the issue in outpatient clinical settings. This problem of under-staffing of nurses has assumed significant importance and needs to urgent attention, as it has an influence on the satisfaction of the patients and more significantly their safety. An outpatient clinic cannot run if the patients have no desire or wish to go there. In addition, it becomes hazardous in risking the lives of the patients. The purpose of this research is to research the cause of understaffing on outpatient clinics together with the influences it has on patient safety and care. Additionally, the project encompasses examining the perspective of the existing personnel….

Paths to Nursing Leadership" by Bondas (2006). This qualitative study attempted to determine the motivations behind nurses entering nursing leadership programs and for seeking out jobs in management positions in healthcare. This study was also a component of a research program in nursing leadership as a whole and of evidence-based care. One of the fundamental pillars of the study as a whole has to do with the belief that nursing has not spent enough time or attention in the development of nursing leadership to benefit patient care. Bondas also asserts that there simply isn't enough research on the motives of nurses and their reasons for dedicating themselves to a career in nursing and to nursing leadership as a whole. Bondas does a sufficient job of setting a case for the fact that nursing leadership can make a consistent and positive impact on patient care. Bondas also aptly illuminates how….

Hepatitis C Exposure Incident Report
Recently eighty patients at the Norman Regional Hospital have tested positive for Hepatitis C Employee James Hill admitted to reusing needles up to 25 time a day while administering pain medication. At least 38 cases can be positively associated with exposure at the clinic, while another 35 may be associated. As acting Nurse Manager, I have been assigned the task of developing a strategy for dealing with this situation. The following will discuss the issues and policies involved in effectively dealing either the current situation and developing a plan to prevent future similar events from occurring.

This issue is multifaceted and there are several elements to consider when dealing with the issue. The first concern is the safety of the infected patients. The second is that there many be possible violations of Federal laws involved. The third issue is to analyze the situation from a management standpoint….

Leadership Discussions First Half
Conflicting Obligations

Identify at least two ethical dilemmas that occur when you are in a position of leadership. What makes the dilemmas ethical? Would you expect each person to react to the dilemma in the same way?

People have different ways of reacting to dilemmas. In my position as a leader, I have encountered a situation where I had to choose tow rights. In this case, I was entangled in a dilemma because I value both student achievement and teacher autonomy when I pursue to enact policies that lower expectations. This was a heightened conflict because all school heads are public officials obligated to various people with competing interests and values. My position comes with dilemmas such as deciding whether to report teachers with questionable grading decisions. This dilemma is ethical because it puts pressure on the need to make ethical decisions. Further, in my response, I must take….

Leadership in Nursing
Excellence in leadership is an inherently innate skill set that over time emerges in the attitude, commitment and performance of subordinates. It is also reflected in how a given business unit or department coordinate, collaborates and trusts each other (Cohen, 2013). Compounding these factors are the often complex, highly intricate and often challenging aspects of managing and leading a nursing department (Swearingen, Liberman, 2004). The stresses and requirements of nursing leadership serve as a catalyst that accelerates leadership skills in nurse leaders. The challenges of orchestrating and leading a department are in many ways a crucible that leads to stronger nurse leaders capable of overcoming challenges and continually growing over time (Wong, Cummings, 2009). The most effective transformational leaders know how and when to rely on individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and idealized influence (ao, 2013). Taken together these are the attributes that are essential for a….
