nursing leadership

In the Week 8 Discussion, you proposed a new product or service, aligned with organizational goals and professional standards, and described the management and leadership competencies that would facilitate successful implementation of this project.

For this Discussion, you consider the importance of building a team of leaders from across the organization to implement the new product or service you are recommending.

To prepare:

  • Consider the leaders across the organization you would work with to roll out the product or service. Which leadership styles and skills might you encounter as you work with various individuals? 
  • What opportunities and challenges may arise as a result of individuals with differing leadership styles and skills working together? How would you work on a team or in a group with those whose style differs from your own?

By Day 3

Post a description of how the leadership styles and skills of others you would work with to roll out the product or service would support, complement, or contrast your own. Describe challenges and opportunities that may arise as a result of working with individuals with differing leadership styles and skills in a team or group setting.

MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE TWO FACILITIES

As a nurse informaticist, you may be at the forefront of managing patient data, institutional data, and other record-keeping that has reporting requirements. The reporting of accurate and truthful information is critical to policy compliance, and may affect funding, safety ratings, or other crucial measures. In this Discussion, you analyze one such example where informatics and ethics overlap.
For this Discussion, consider the following scenario:
Imagine that you are a nurse informaticist in an ER department. The manager informs you that the duration from when a patient arrives in the ER reporting cardiac-related symptoms to being seen in the cardiac catheterization lab is above the national standard. She asks if there is a way to “adjust” the report to make the time look better before the next review.

  • Review the resources and reflect on the actions you would take and the decision you would make to meet standards in an ethical manner as it relates to the scenario provided.
  • Think about what your response to the manager might be.
By Day 3 of Week 11

Post a response that explains how you would comply with policy and maintain ethical nursing practice in the scenario above. Be specific and provide examples. Next, recommend a solution to address the problem described in the scenario. Justify why you would recommend this solution.

The patient in 4D had been admitted for multidrug resistant pneumonia. Given her advanced age and a host of other medical problems, the outlook was dire. Over the weeks she and the night nurse had struck up something of a friendship. Other than that she had no visitors, not a soul listed to notify in case of death, and no known friends or relatives. As he dropped by on his night rounds, the nurse was her only visitor, and the visits were limited to the short conversations she could manage. Now her vital signs were failing, and the nurse recognized that the patient in 4D was near death. So he tried to spend every spare minute on his shift in her room, just being present. He was there to hold her hand during her last moments of life. How did his supervisor respond to this gesture of human kindness?

To Prepare

  • Following the passage above, Goldman continues on to explain that the nurse supervisor reprimanded the nurse. Does this line up with what you were expecting? Why or why not?
  • Based on the information in the Learning Resources, think of a recent experience in your organization and consider how a nursing administrator demonstrated or failed to demonstrate emotional intelligence. How did this impact the outcome of the situation?
  • Reflect on your identified strengths and opportunities for growth related to emotional intelligence from the information in the Learning Resources. What surprises you about the concept of emotional intelligence? How would you rate your own emotional intelligence?

By Day 3

Post a description of a situation in which a nursing administrator demonstrated or did not demonstrate emotional intelligence when managing a situation. Explain how this may have impacted the outcome of the situation. Describe how you would handle the situation differently based on your own identified emotional intelligence strengths.
