摘要:

Current environmental and economic forces in health care delivery systems have dramatically influenced the practice of nursing administration. The concept of human care is presented as a basis for nursing leadership and management. Philosophical trends that impact the role of the nurse administrator are explored, with specific reference to the evolution of the concept of care as a central domain in nursing practice. Nursing administrators are urged to maintain and enhance the human caring values inherent in professional nursing practice.

摘要:

A nurse administrator, interviewing a recovering nurse addict, needs a method to determine if the nurse is ready to return to work. Understanding the four phases of recovery (premotivation, breakthrough, early recovery, and extended recovery) is helpful in assessing the nurse's readiness. Believing recovering nurses are not ready for the demands of most nursing jobs until they reach the last phase of recovery, the author presents an interview guide to assist nurse administrators to make an assessment.

摘要:

Employees who are motivated to seek treatment, return to the work place as productive employees in 85%-90% of the cases. The Monitored Treatment Program and contract between the employee and employer provide an objective data base for re-entry. The program is multifaceted, approaching re-entry with active participation and involvement by all members of the rehabilitation team. Such a program can protect the institution from liability, while providing an appropriate response to impaired staff during the re-entry process.

摘要:

Efficient, cost-effective patient classification systems are an essential component of information needed for staffing projections, budgeting, productivity monitoring, and determining the cost of nursing services. Data collection on every shift is typical of GRASP®-based patient classification systems. In this study, comparisons among multiple shift measurements showed that no relevant information was being gained by multiple daily assessments of patient care requirements.

摘要:

Variability in nurse staffing research has existed and still exists in two major areas: the method of data collection and analysis, and the method of reporting. The authors take a broad look at these two areas of variability and consider the implications for future nurse staffing research. It has become imperative that nurses take responsibility for the determination of what constitutes nursing work and who should perform that work.

摘要:

How does a crisis impact a hospital? And how should nursing executives manage the crisis so that productivity and morale remain high? The purpose of this article is to trace an organizational crisis from its inception to its resolution. Every crisis has predictable components that if recognized will enable an administrator to diminish interpersonal hostility and conflict. Key strategies for resolving a crisis include (a) sending objective messages to staff concerning the magnitude of the crisis, (b) enlisting staff support in resolving problems contributing to the crisis, and (c) projecting an optimistic vision of the future.

摘要:

In the absence of a national credentialing center for nursing and in the interest of ensuring competencies, Forbes Regional Health Center has developed a framework for internal credentialing. This framework, while initiated in a specialty area, has application to all areas of acute care including the medical-surgical areas. Program development within this framework provides a consistent, structured method of documenting selected clinical proficiencies and facilitates the achievement of individual learning needs.
