Accepting Change In Nursing

It is easy to reject change just because I have grown accustomed to the way the work is being performed. Without examining the new way, I am not giving it a chance. Rejecting change delays progress and wastes time and effort. To overcome this hindrance, reactions should be set aside, and the change should be judged critically based on the idea.

The facility my change project has potential impact upon is a teaching hospital which is known for promoting, supporting, and encouraging clinical research and implementing latest evidence-based practice. Erlanger serves as the region's only academic teaching hospital and strives to employ healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable in the latest skill, technique, and evidence based practice (EBP) (Erlanger Health System, 2017). This serves as both a strength and opportunity for the facility. A major strength for the hospital is the support that is has for research and implementation of all change processes. In 2013 the Institute for Clinical Research (EICR), was developed to solidify unity of two objectives, providing patients’ access

I know that many people struggle with change, including me. Change often comes without a warning and catches you off guard, but it is not always a bad thing. Change can make things exciting and test your limits.

Response to change is a major key people’s success in life. Everyday people make decisions on change. The way people act on those obstacles makes or breaks a person. Responding the right way can be one of the most challenging objectives a person may face.

Change should be seen as a challenge and embraced with enthusiasm (Marquis & Huston, 2012). In my professional and personal life, I view and respond to change as a way to make improvements to existing regulations and circumstances. I embark upon the quest with determination to succeed at whatever task is presented to me. Life without change can become unchallenging and stagnant (Marquis & Huston, 2012). As society and technology advance, you must incorporate the necessary transformations that arise with it.

The healthcare industry is an ever changing system in which there is constant pressure for it to provide quality care while maintaining rising cost. The pressure exerted on a healthcare system is exemplified by managed healthcare. This type of care involves integrating and comprehensive systems of health care providers, insurance, companies and government programs. University Hospital is a very large teaching hospital which scores well on accreditation tests and is known for its high quality level of care. Like all hospitals, they need to work on improving their financial situation. In order to alleviate financial stress, the hospital has taken on a “differentiated nursing practice” which has registered nurses as care

There is no doubt that nursing is an ever changing field. Although nursing always has been about caring for others, at the present time, this field is more sophisticated and respected than in the past. Currently, there are standards of nursing practice and professional performance developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) for American nurses to follow. However, there is some controversy about whether nursing is a profession or not. Also, in order to learn these standards as well as other norms, values, and behaviors of nursing, nursing students and nurses follow a lifelong process called socialization which is affected by many factors. Moreover, a way to learn more about these topics is to compare real nurses’ thoughts and experiences with what literature suggests. Therefore, after interviewing an experienced nurse and report on her demographics, I have been able to contrast her perspectives on nursing being a profession, the ANA standards of practice, and the socialization process to literature as well as reflect on my own thoughts and values.

As I started by Bachelors of Science Nursing (BSN) program, I was very apprehensive about things that I was going to learn. I felt that I was already a very good nurse, and that obtaining my BSN was just paperwork. Little did I know how much I would learn in the first class, Nursing Transitions, at Viterbo University. I have learned that obtaining my BSN will enhance not only my educational experience, but will make me more holistic, enhance my communication styles, and strengthen my ability to do research more readily.

Change A great philosopher named Heraclitus once said that “The only thing that is constant is change”. Although this is true, we as humans often have a lot difficulty with accepting this fact. Most of us are not accustomed to the thought of change. Therefore when it is forced upon us, our ignorance causes us to be anxious and fearful about the possibilities that change can bring.

Change is constant in both our professional and our private lives. Our children grow up taking for granted things like powerful personal computers that we could not envision at their ages. The idea that human beings naturally resist change is deeply embedded in our thinking about change. Our language, our assumptions, and our mental models about change all seem to imply that something in our natures leads us to resist change. However, it is easy to find examples of human beings, from childhood on through old age, actively seeking out change of all sorts. Human beings do not necessarily resist change automatically; however, many people do resist being changed, i.e., having changes imposed on them.

The change project is about increasing safety to promote positive physical work environments while improving efficiency as a result of increased education and safe work practices of the nursing staff at QCHED. Success of this change will be achieved through reforming current work practice, structural location of sharps equipment and workplace behaviours (Anderson in Kelly & Crawford, 2013). Social learning theory described by Bastable (2014) as learning through exposure to influential environments, and role models to alter personal behaviours. Increasing accessibility of sharps containers to nurses will effect behavioural change to promote compliance of new behaviours. These new behaviours will include: proper disposal, empowerment to promote

Change can be unnerving for everyone, but how one approaches it determines an ultimate outcome. Growing up in a society filled with opportunity and acceptance is an eye opener to how I can be a helping factor to a completely new atmosphere. Every community has its own unique characteristics, and being able to add to them helps improve the unity as a whole. These positive aspects require the acceptance of change and diversity, as well as commitment.

Life is constantly changing. Sometimes its big ways, but the majority happens little by little. One example in my life, slowly changed how I thought about other people. This was when I had my braces for about 5 years. In the beginning, I had to go through a surgery to expose a tooth. I saw absolutely no reason why I had to get my teeth corrected which I thought was just a cosmetic issue. Because of this thinking, I was pretty grumpy towards my orthodontist and his staff. About a year and a half, something just clicked and I realized it wasn't their fault for doing their job. If there was anybody to blame it would be my parents and there was no way I would be difficult towards them. I decided to start being polite to my orthodontist and would

Everyone goes through changes throughout their lives whether it’s a physical change,or maybe a change in their appearance,or a change in perspective. We have all experienced change at some point in our lives.

Be Happy With Changes: Changes are an integral part of our life and it is a must-needed process too, but somehow it affects our day, as we never allow ourselves to be happy with the changes. Allow yourself to become a part of your life’s changes and accept it and flow with it as it goes.
