Nursing Supervisors

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is ever evolving. It has continued to adapt in the world of healthcare which has transformed since its introduction in 2004 (1). A doctorate in nursing first began as a research-based has now evolved to include a focus on nursing practice (4). The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Position Statement on the Practicing Doctor of Nursing, October 2004 stated,

What is the process by which correctional nurses adapt to providing effective care for women who are pregnant and incarcerated?

Today was my first day back with Ms. Zelda Smith the Chief of the Nursing Supervisor Department. Ms. Smith and I met took a few minutes to get reacquainted and then discussed my goals and objectives moving forward. To recap, Ms. Smith and I worked on a very detailed resource binder intended to support personnel temporarily filling the Nursing Officer of the Day (NOD) role. The Nursing Supervisor section experiences a great deal of turnover related to staff being pulled away for military obligations. Ms. Smith now has five permanent non-military staff members including herself and but she also relies on military personnel as needed to support staffing demands and satisfy mandatory military training requirements. Ms. Smith hired one new

My personal goal is turning into a director of nursing (DON), after securing the necessary supervisory competencies required. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree or above is required for most DON positions, where many of DONs are having a master's degree. This position requires an expert level in leadership and communication skills to manage registered nurses and practical nurses, and they collaborate with patients and specialists, so past supervisory experience is essential (Study.com, 2016). As I am very close to completing my BSN, and having worked as a registered nurse and a nurse supervisor for the last fourteen years, I could realize this goal. I will spend more time to expand my management and leadership skills as well as

This is my report for Giving Nurses More Respect I 've learned a lot about all the work that nurses do in hospitals while researching for this report. Ive made some good points in my report that I think can persuade you into helping the working environment for nurses be better. Thank you for taking the time to look at this.

Experience and knowledge are an ever growing, dynamic component of emergency nursing. One of my strengths as an ER RN has always been my clinical skills. My weakness lies in the area of leadership. My focus is on the patients. In the face of others who lack the same focus I lose the patience and professionalism required to maintain

Healthcare organizations and nursing implications are constantly changing, is important Nurse Leaders to interpret implications in the delivery of healthcare system. Nursing Management and Nursing Leadership while both having similar attributes are two different concepts, with two different characteristics, roles, and responsibilities. There are multiple Management and Leadership qualities, in which ethical considerations must be addressed. As new changes are so frequent in health care the Institute of Medicine have recommended a new form of leadership called Transformational Leadership, which have shown to be very efficient for Nurse Leaders, it involves strategies to effectively communicate their vision for the future with others. To be an

Today, there are many challenges that are being faced by nursing educators due to ethical and professional nursing standards. Nurse educators are required to accomplish the role of both an educator and clinical instructor simultaneously. In the past, nurse educators for theory class and clinical rotations were hired separately. Part-time positions were given to clinical instructors because of their expertise in the field, unfortunately, they had little knowledge in teaching the theory portion of the class. On the contrary, theory-based faculty were mainly focused on the teaching components in a classroom setting and had less chance in keeping their skills current (Little & Miliken, 2007). Having concurrent role do question the capacity of a nurse educators. Is this goal feasible and achievable for nurse educators to handle today’s multifaceted health care structure? In order to accomplish these tasks, this author constructed a well-planned clinical currency strategy which will be discussed in this paper.

The nursing field has grown in so many way since the 1900s. A little background about the nursing field… Taking care of the sick was believed that it was caused by sin so nursing was looked at as a religious calling. Around this time, hospitals were built and nursing became recognized as vocational. Around the 1800s, Florence Nightingale changed the nursing field. She was the woman who founded the most important part in infection control, sanitation and sterilization. This lowered the death rate from 60% to 1%. This also opened the door for her to train and educate other women by opening up her first Nightingale training school. This built the foundation what the nursing field is about today.

Nurse: A noble person who demonstrates a kind touch to the sick, the injured, and the elderly. These everyday heroes earn their living by performing tasks such as helping people with activities of daily living, nurses also are in emergency settings saving lives under intense pressure. Nurses can do a number of things ranging from giving medication to dealing with traumas. Nurses wear scrubs and closed-toed, comfortable shoes. Nurses should not wear jewelry, and also need to have their hair pulled back. Nurses are professional while also compassionate to every patient.

Nevertheless, your nursing school leadership seems to understand the above nursing students emotional distress and their future behavior. It is obvious that colleges not only teach skills and new knowledge to their students but also mold their behavior. “The attitudes, values and behaviors of an institution begin with its leadership” (Azaare & Gross, 2011, p. 672). What is needed in nursing school is transformational/ democratic leaders because in a democratic system. Leaders are participatory and lead by example. Your nursing school is great because the leadership solicits feedback from instructors and students alike.

I was thrilled to see an opening for a nursing position on the medical surgical floor at LDS hospital, I have applied and submitted my resume and I anxiously wait for a call to interview. I currently work at the Intermountain West Jordan Clinic as a Medical Assistant and have been searching the internal job postings for a registered nurse position. I am a new graduate from nursing school and am eager to begin my career as a nurse.

The medical field has many opportunities and one of the best place to go to is registered nursing. The amount of people becoming a registered nurse has skyrocketed tremendously over the past few years and has continued to increase. The career of nursing has changed drastically over the ages and continues to change and improve. Along with these changes come more responsibilities.

Thank you for your post. I enjoyed reading about your experiences with your nurse leader. I have worked with two laissez-faire leaders. Marquis and Huston (2015) characterized this type of leaders as being permissive, providing little direction, dispersing decision-making throughout the group, and someone who does not criticize. The first manager I encountered with this style of leadership when I was a pediatric intensive care unit nurse. Many times the staff would get frustrated with her because it seemed like she did not give much direction. Later, I joined the pediatric transport team, and this same person was also the manager of the transport team. The staff of this department liked her style of leadership. This group was a highly
