摘要:

This is the last in a series of articles guiding nursing administrators from broad marketing strategy to tactics and specific applications. The first article laid the foundation for developing a market-driven strategic plan. The second focused on marketing from the inside out. This final article explores the benefits of specialty nurse certification as a strategy for nursing administrators to retain and recruit the most qualified nurses and to differentiate their services from those of competitors. The article includes findings from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses’ proprietary research, suggestions on how to support certification, and a case study of one hospital’s experience in conducting a CCRN certification drive as part of their critical care nurse competency program.

摘要:

The nursing workforce is aging more rapidly than the workforce as a whole, and fewer young people are entering the profession. It is imperative that older nurses be retained, not only for their experience and expertise, but also to prevent worsening an already critical nursing shortage. A descriptive survey design was used to determine the knowledge base and plans for the aging RN workforce by North Carolina hospitals and nursing homes. Nurses over age 55 made up 14.1% of the respondents’ RN staff. Most administrators are aware of the aging workforce and wish to retain older nurses. Unfortunately, 94% of facilities have no policies in place to address the needs of older nurses, and 87% admitted to having no immediate plans to do so. Specific recommendations are made to assist nurse managers in retaining the older RN.

Studies have consistently linked climate to individual and organizational performance. The author discusses the 6 key dimensions of climate, how to evaluate it in an organization, and methods to enhance it.

摘要:

The purpose of this article is to determine whether nursing practice, as judged by nurse peer reviewers, varies by type or location of hospital and to assess which aspects of practice tend to be most at variance with nursing theory. This article provides a framework of continued quality assessment and improvement that is based on prior research. Trained nurse peer reviewers carried out structured implicit review, which utilized their professional judgment to evaluate the process of nursing care for patients admitted to acute hospitals with heart failure or cerebrovascular accident. Findings show significant variations in the quality of nursing care and support the continued development of nursing quality assessment and improvement initiatives directed at reducing the gap between nursing theory and practice.

摘要:

With the release of the Institute of Medicine’s report on patient safety, a national agenda was set to rebuild the public’s trust and create cultures of safety within all healthcare organizations. This vision of improvement is driving changes in healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and regulatory agencies to remove the blame and improve their systems. Understanding historical events, strategies for organization change, and current patient safety initiatives will assist nursing leaders to become active participants at the local, state, and national level as cultures are changed and solutions are developed to prevent patient injuries.
