In the primary nursing model the registered nurse works autonomously as the patient’s primary care provider throughout hospitalization (Yoder-Wise, 2015). The nursing staff works along side the medical team to provide comprehensive care to patients, but it is mainly the nurse that provides direct patient care. The nurse managers on the unit spend a majority of their time on the business side of the hospital. However, when needed, they still have the competencies to provide patient care. 2) A delivery care model I would create would be very similar to the primary nursing model because I believe it provides the highest quality patient care needed for the patients on the pediatric unit. Ideally, all nurses would have at least a bachelors …show more content…

These statements are similar to the actual Northwest Texas Hospital in that both are focused on providing the best quality care to patients and having a hospital that both the employees and community are proud to be a part of. NWTH’s values are centered around patient care and I believe that is what every quality hospital should base their mission, vision, and philosophy around.
5) The nursing organization structure begins with the director of nursing. The director of nursing is responsible for multiple units around the hospital. Responsibilities for the director range from meeting budgeting needs to working with other staff members to meet everyday departmental needs. Next in command is the nurse managers. Nurse managers report directly to the director and oversee the nursing operations on the floor. Nurse managers are in charge of the clinical aspect of the unit and ensure that proper staffing, supplies, and resources are available to provide proper care. When a manager is not available to oversee operations, the charge nurse of each unit steps in and

Nurse mangers is the leader of a specific department or unit of a healthcare facility. The nurse manager is responsible for recruitment and retention of the nursing staff, collaborating with other health care providers on patient care, and assisting patients and their families when needed. The nurse manager works with administration communicating and interpreting the facility’s policies and procedures to the staff. Usually with other departments in the facility, the nurse managers develop quality improvement measures tracking the patient services and care. According to Espinoza et al (2009), the nurse manager plays a pivotal role in
This paper aims to address and discuss about the leadership and management of the nurse leader interviewed. This experience was a great opportunity to witness first hand how a nurse leader cultivate and manage their staffs in real life setting. Moreover, it provides a great access to gain insight and knowledge about nurse leaders’ vital responsibilities and role diversities in the organizations they work with. Nurse leaders pay more specific and close attention in handling the staffs and most importantly, patient care.
Care delivery models are an integral component for delivering patient care. With the collaboration of other members of the healthcare team, the Registered nurse is able to fully optimize his/her skill sets to provide to best quality care. As discussed consistency and coordinated care are the key. Studies must be conducted and evidence base practice must be implemented in order to find the model that is suitable for a particular unit. How models are implemented in an organization can be highly variable. Completion of this assignment has enlightened me on the profound impact that care models have in the flow of a unit. Newer models
Nursing guidance is a complex but essential part of the nursing workforce. Guidance can come in the form of management and in the form of leadership. The two terms are often used interchangeably, but do not always mean the same thing. The nurse manager is often someone who has authority from the facility to be in management. The nursing leader may not have authority over other nurses, but may be a strong guide in the workplace for other nurses and nursing staff. Nursing as a profession is ever-changing and increasingly challenging. Nurse managers are tasked with an enormous variety of functions in their respective workplaces, budgeting, scheduling, hiring, disciplinary actions, implementing facility policies and procedures, and the
In conclusion, I feel that the philosophy of nursing is a combination of core values, and beliefs that teaches us to treat each human being with the respect, compassion, dignity, and uniqueness, regardless of disease, social or economic status, or race that they deserve. My focus with each patient will be to allow them to have the right to be involved in the decision making of their care as well as allowing their family members to be involved in the decision making. I will maintain my beliefs and values by treating every patient, or coworker with respect that they deserve. I believe that each person has a calling in life and it takes a special person to become a nurse.

A nursing philosophy is the thoughts and beliefs about the job of a nurse based on one’s values. My values that have formed over the years have influenced me to purse a forever career as a nurse. I grew up in a small town Smithfield, Pennsylvania with my parents and younger brother. My community consisted of close relationships between the residents. Every one helped and cared for one another when needed. The practices of my community guided me to want to become a nurse. I want to continue to care for my community and give back to them by treating their illnesses and providing them with better health care. I am particularly interested in caring for pediatric patients. My goal is to try to provide every infant a chance to live their beautiful life created for them by God. While doing this, the primary focus of being a nurse will be to accommodate my patients and allow them to become a healthy person again.
My personal philosophy of nursing is based on my understanding and knowledge of medicine combined with practical, compassionate patient based care that culturally respects each patient while at the same time fulfilling their healthcare needs. My philosophy focuses just not on delivering patient based

3. Manager – As a manager, the nursing director would organize, direct, coordinate and evaluate activities of the nursing service staff. He or she makes sure the there is for professional growth and satisfaction among its personnel.
A philosophy is created to find truth and meaning. It requires evaluation and use of critical thinking as to why one’s nursing practice matters. The history of philosophy and theories allows me to evaluate my personal nursing philosophy. I believe that each person is their own individual. My way of practicing nursing is by using compassion, listening to my patients and trying to understand them. It is not just the body or the disease but rather the holistic nature of the patient. I believe that nursing deals with promotion of health and prevention of disease. Lifelong education, research and evidence based practice are all utilized in my profession of nursing and are all concepts important to my nursing care.
It has been commonly seen that nurses who are working under any organization are helped by it so that they can perform a better duty, a great nurse is known to be compassionate, empathetic, selfless, self-aware and someone who is technically strong having a thirst for knowledge. All of this can be achieved if the resources of the organization such as networking and educational opportunities are wisely organized according to the requirements of the nurses. The result would be better healthcare for all, better communication which is key to finding out roots of many problems and the overall increase in a patient's trust in the nurse itself.
Before I started this leadership/management coarse I had no idea what qualities a good leader manager needs to hold. I had no idea a registered nurse was considered a leader/manager. Now that I have reviewed all the chapters in the Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing (Marquis & Huston, 2015) I have a full understanding of how important leadership/management functions play in a nurse’s career. Chapters 12-25 describe roles and functions that are needed for a nurse to become a successful leader/manager. These chapters discussed the roles and functioning of organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling.
