Nurse Leader Publication

Hello Fans!!  I'm in the final stages of preparing my article titled, "Impact of Caring on Transforming Culture", which is expected to be published in Dec 2011 or Jan 2012.  Here's a highlight:

A Caring Work Environment--The nurse leader’s ability to develop and demonstrate caring will support building a collaborative, quality clinical environment.  Leaders in the organization are responsible for creating a caring environment supporting respectful, patient-focused interdisciplinary teams and to develop a culture of quality care and clinical excellence.  Nursing care is increasingly complex, and requires all team members to be aligned and prioritize patient safety and quality patient care.  The objective is to integrate the concepts of caring, and foster team behaviors that positively influence nursing practice and foster collaborative relationships among the healthcare team.  The development of collaborative relationships will lead to decreased adverse events for patients and the creation of a culture of safety and caring.
...looking forward to hearing your comments after your read the article in it's entirety.  Thanks for reading!!

Future of Nursing-Key Message#1: Nurses Should Practice to The Full Extent of Their Education & Training

The "Future of Nursing" (FON) report identified their 1st key message was to emphasize the importance of nurses using their skills, knowledge,and training to practice within their scope.  The biggest barrier to this occurring has been the individual state's regulations regarding scope of practice for nurses.  Every state has their own board of nursing, that's right, every state decides what the scope of nursing practice should be.  Having traveled quite a bit as a military wife, I can tell you that this creates a lot of confusion and often times, disappointment.  Obviously I strongly support this initiative, but it will require a lot of legislative and bureaucratic support to move this forward.  The article also points out that in 2002 the Joint Commission recommended an increase in the number of nurse residency programs to support nurses to develop skills and competencies in specialized areas to strengthen their clinical knowledge.  It is now 2011 and I th...
