Employee development methods are beneficial to the organization and employees because it ensures that changes are met within the organization. The importance of the human resource management’s involvement in the process is to develop and make sure that programs are available to meet the needs of the organization. Role of Training in an Organization’s Development The role of training in an organizations development is to develop employee’s skills, and knowledge to help the employees to perform his or her job more effectively. DeCenzo and Robbins (2007) defines employee training as “present-oriented training that focuses on individual’s current jobs” (p. 209). An organizations development depends on how well an employee can do his or her current job. Training provides employee’s an opportunity to develop his or her skills, knowledge, attitude, and behavior. An organization profits from training employee’s because the organization needs to have workers who are well-adjusted, have training, and experience to perform the job requirements. Organizations invest in employee...

...Intake and Output Delegation to an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX University School of Nursing Nursing is an excellent career and one that is in very high demand. Many times, the workload required of nurses is too much to bare. When working as a nurse, it is often necessary to delegate tasks to others in order to provide the best possible care for a patient. Before delegating to assistive personnel, the nurse must make sure the assistant is competent in performing the desired task. All 5 rights of delegation must be met. These rights include the right task, circumstance, person, direction/communication, & supervision. There are some tasks that a nurse must not delegate to others. Those tasks include the assessment, planning, evaluation and nursing judgment of a patient (Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, 2004). These tasks are only within the RN’s scope of care and cannot be passed to other members of a team who are there to assist. This paper looks at the care of a 40-year-old male patient with cellulitis and type 2 diabetes. The monitoring of his intake and output are necessary and is an appropriate task to delegate to a nursing assistant. The reasons for delegating this task are the topic of this paper. Before the delegation is made to the assistant, a delegation decision-making grid was completed to assess the client’s level of stability and the assistant’s competence to see if delegation is appropriate for the patient. This tool...

...leaders and professional nursing organizations say the primary differentiator between a technical nurse and a professional nurse is the level of education. The Nursing Diploma and two-year Associates-Degree Nurses (ADN) are considered “technical” while a nurse with a four-year Bachelors of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) is considered “professional”. The distinction of differentiating nursing capabilities based on education arose after the creation of the two-year ADN programs at junior colleges. After World War II there was a sudden growth in junior colleges to support the demand for technical training and education of returning veterans. At the same time there were accelerated advances in medical sciences and facilities and a supporting demand for more nurses. Creative educators, led by Dr. Mildred Montag, starting in the early 1950’s created the two-year ADN curriculum to help meet the growing demand for nurses. “Dr, Montag’s doctoral research, not only as the spark that began the Associate Degree Nursing movement, but also the research base that proved her ideas could work in the real world and established Associate Degree Nursing as the only nursing program that was research proven over time.” However, some educators took liberties and experimented with the ADN curriculum as they worked to provide the best mix of clinical and classroom education. In 1965, the American Nurses Association (ANA) published a position paper titled “A Position Paper on Education Preparation...

...task of ensuring that their love ones are placed in nursing homes. According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC) (2012), about 1.5 million Americans live in nursing homes and about 22% of 5.3 million people 85 years of age or older had a nursing home stay in 2006. They go on to say, there are approximately 16,000 nursing homes and about 1.7 million nursing home beds in the United States. While only twelve percent of nursing home residents are between the ages of 64-74, 45% are over 85 years of age. It is estimated that anyone over 65 years of age will have a 43% chance of spending some time in a nursing home (Kemper and Murtaugh, 1991) and about 24 % of these individuals will spend less than a year in residence at a nursing home (CDC, 2012). The key employees of the nursing home that have the most interaction and greatest impact with the residents of nursing homes are the registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and certified nursing assistants (CNAs). For several years the shortage and turnover rate of nursing home staff has long been a serious problem for multiple nursing homes nationwide (Pillemer, et al., 2008). Providing effective and safe quality care in nursing homes requires clinically and interpersonally competent staff. Research findings suggest that inadequate supervisory, managerial, and human resource practices within nursing homes contribute to poor outcomes, including high nursing staff turnover, lower employee satisfaction, and poor...

...The debate over Baccalaureate nursing degrees versus Associate nursing degrees or Diplomas has been a provocative topic in recent years. A controversial position paper from the American Nurses Association urged change in the field, stating: Baccalaureate education should become the foundation for professional practice. (Black, 2014, Chapter 7) Another study went further, recommending that Registered Nurses continue their higher education, earning Master’s degrees within 10 years of receiving licensure (Benner, 2009). Currently numbers for nurses holding baccalaureate degrees run between 55% and 61% of the workforce. Many studies conducted indicate better patient outcomes from nurses holding higher degrees. As nursing and healthcare move forward in complex changing times, the urgency of a better-educated workforce to meet needs becomes imperative. This paper intends to argue in support of this direction for nursing. Florence Nightingale, whose pioneering works laid the foundation for careers in nursing, held that nurses should be educated in higher learning. Her metaparadigm categories of person, health, environment and nursing paved the way for women to be involved in this field as a respected career choice, not just assistants to doctors. Attending the many needs of patients grew to understanding the individual as a holistic entity and helping people to get well, even if not sick. It became a popular thing to become a Nightingale nurse because it was prestigious, Jean C...

...Nursing Expertise Self-Report Scale and Reflection HCS/350 November 21, 2012 Nursing Expertise Self-Report Scale and Reflection This paper is to provide my reflection of the results of The Nursing Expertise Self-Report Scale. I will explain how my results can improve my communication skills in the health care field. “The nurse-expertise self report scale has 20 items scored using a Likert Scale from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree” (Hansten & Jackson, 2009, p. 178). Based on the scoring of the 20 questions, I scored 56 out of 100, reflective of a novice nurse. I am not surprised with the results. I do not currently work as a Registered Nurse (RN). I graduated from nursing school in May 2012. In my current position as a pharmacy assistant, I spend my day communicating with patients, pharmacists, and co-workers. I can take the results to better improve my communication skills, when interacting with patients, physicians, and other members of the team and apply it to practice. I have little experience when it comes to communicating with team members in the hospital. As a student, in the beginning, I was very intimidated to speak to physicians and other members of the health care team. As time went on, I became comfortable communicating with other nurses, patients, and their families. The Self-Report Scale is a reminder of how novice of a nurse I am. I have a lot to learn once I get a nursing job. In the interim, I can take the knowledge I acquire from...

This paper will capture an insight into my interview with this brilliant individual. In this interview we spoke about an overview of her career, her education in graduate school, her present position at the institution where she works and some precious lessons she has learned being in this career. I was also given a lot of valuable advice as an individual starting graduate school. Overview of Career HC works at a very large acute care hospital located in the Queens, New York. She started her career years ago as a Certified Nurse’s Assistance, while attending a Community College where she eventually graduated with an Associate’s Degree in nursing. About one year after becoming a Registered Nurse, HC started her Bachelor’s Degree in nursing which she completed in about 18 months.

According to her it was only suppose to be a temporary position, but...

...Week One Paper: 8/19-8/25 NUR 3826: Ethical & Legal Issues in Health Care Week One Paper: 8/19-8/25 Nursing is a profession that is diverse and those practicing have the potential to adopt their own standards and competencies. However, thanks to the American Nurses Association, standards and competencies have been adopted, stating that all registered nurses regardless of role, population, or specialty are expected to perform competently (ANA, 2010, p. 2). The 2004 Scope and Standards were revised in 2010 secondary to the change in dynamics of the nursing profession. The current 2010 Scope and Standards (1-16) are thoroughly stated, leaving those reading minimal occasion for misinterpretation, in comparison to the 2004 Scope and Standards (1-15). For example, the 2010 Standard 1. Assessment, specifically states the competencies in collecting data, recognizing the impact of personal attitudes values and beliefs, and the fact that the health care consumer’s care preferences is to be honored because they have the authority over their health. The 2004 Scope and Standard 1. Assessment, gives very general authoritative statements. It never highlights the attitudes, values and beliefs of the nurse and the impact it has on the health care consumer or the fact that the health care consumer has the authority over their health and the nurse has to honor their preferences (ANA, 2010, pp. 32-33, 119). The 2010 Standard 7. Ethics competencies states that that the registered nurse...

...I would like to work as a physical therapist or a physician’s assistant.

...Registered nurse change over the next ten years?” The nursing profession has a long history of being undervalued and has faced many challenges in regards to professional status, wages and working conditions. These challenges have been fairly constant and all the while, nurses have been fighting to enhance nursing skills and roles, while also maintaining the core nursing values. This research aims to identify the future of the registered nurse and how this may be expected to change over the next ten years; in order to do this it will explore the past history of nursing, their working conditions, challenges and achievements. Following this brief historical overview , a detailed view of modern day nursing will be the key focus of the paper, with particular relation to the latest professional battle of the 2012 Enterprise bargaining agreement and the Australian government’s planned policies for Australian nurses and what this means for their future. Nursing began in the homes of families as an intuitive and untaught way of caring for sick family members, with the role being given to women based on their care experience and observation. Throughout the dark and middle ages (500 AD to 1400 AD) this ‘care’ later developed a religious aspect, and nursing became an expression of Christianity and seen as ‘acts of mercy’ (D’antonio 2007). This ‘care’ aspect of practice still exists strongly in modern nursing today. However, the nursing reputation took a turn for the worst during the renaissance...

...Change Paper Bedside Shift Report University of South Carolina - Upstate Bedside Shift Report Miscommunication and missed information, resulting in potential errors, have been on the rise at Pelham Medical Center. In the past, the primary nursing staff was giving verbal report to oncoming nurses at the nursing stations. There are many disadvantages to this practice. Verbal report at the nursing station is distracting with so many nurses talking at the same time and is frequently interrupted by other staff, call bells, and family members. There are also potential HIPPA violations when reporting on patients within earshot of other people who are not involved in that patient’s care. The patients and their family members or care givers are not directly involved in the report and hand off process (Gregory, Tan, Tilrico, Edwardson, & Gamm, 2014). Pertinent information was being reported incorrectly or not reported at all. Physician orders were being missed and not completed. All of these events, collectively, have adversely affected patient safety and overall patient satisfaction. Patients and their families do not like to feel that the primary nurse does not know the “whole picture” or has an incorrect understanding of the plan of care. In an effort to reduce potential errors, increase communication between staff and with patients and their care givers, and increase patient and nursing satisfaction, the nursing administration of Pelham Medical Center decided...
