...Results SuccessFactors Healthcare Executive Summary Nursing turnover is a major issue impacting the performance and profitability of healthcare organizations. Healthcare organizations require a stable, highly trained and fully engaged nursing staff to provide effective levels of patient care. The financial cost of losing a single nurse has been calculated to equal about twice the nurse’s annual salaryi. The average hospital is estimated to lose about $300,000 per year for each percentage increase in annual nurse turnoverii. Losing these critical employees negatively impacts the bottom line of healthcare organizations in a variety of ways including: Decreased quality of patient care Increased contingent staff costs Increased staffing costs Loss of patients Increased nurse and medical staff turnover Increased accident and absenteeism rates The primary causes of nurse turnover can be analyzed by I) understanding why nurses choose to work for an organization and ensuring this ‘employee value proposition’ is met; and II) identifying things that occur after nurses are hired that lead them to quit even though their initial job expectations were met. I. Primary factors that influence nurses’ choice of employers are work schedules, career development opportunities, and commuting distanceiii. However the relative importance of these factors varies widely across nurses. There is no “one size fits all” ideal job design and healthcare organizations that wish...

I will explain why I feel compelled to work in the healthcare field and how the administration portion of healthcare affords me the opportunity to have a broader influence on the overall picture. There are so many things that can be accomplished from an administrative perspective that greatly impact the patient care experience starting from bedside care all the way to organizational policy and procedure development. For me, this is a very rewarding career both professionally and spiritually. Hospital Administration and its Role in Healthcare When I first started out in healthcare almost 20 years ago, I always knew I wanted to do something on a much grander scale than just bedside nursing. Dr. Pace (2006, p. 3) discussed early in his books, the importance of choosing a career that is both interesting and challenging and also has the ability to provide you with financial security.

Impact of the IOM Report on Nursing Education As centuries pass by, the technology and education needs for members of the healthcare team increase and become more complex. 100 years ago nurse education consisted of 2-3 years of training in a hospital setting ending up with a diploma. In 2010, the IOM report suggested that by 2020, 80% of nurses should be Bachelor prepared. Bachelor degree programs are 4 year programs and provide community health, leadership and research classes in addition to the nursing skill programs. The recommendation from the IOM has put a burden on the education programs as presently there are not enough BSN programs to support the goal. Additionally as it reported that we will be...

It is only through proper and continued education that nurses can provide patients better care, assess and report what is best for the patient and always seek ways to improve patient outcome. In order to achieve the best results, nurses need to identify the core knowledge, scientific principles, skills and attitudes of nursing practice to improve healthcare system (International Council of Nurses, 2007).

...increase with the new Affordable Care Act (ACA) now in place, which was passed by the United States Congress and later signed by President Obama in 2010. The passing of the ACA will ultimately allow millions of people who are un-insured to be insured and receive health care. In 2008, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee spent two years evaluating and transforming the nursing profession in order to help ready the future needs of healthcare. Two years later, on October 5, 2010 and just months after the ACA was signed, the IOM published its report named The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Healthcare which partially focuses on the transformation of nursing education, practice and leadership roles of nursing. The IOM report focuses on the importance of nurses enhancing their education to meet the expanding technological advances and expansion of the nursing role by pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. These opportunities include nursing research, education, and IOM’s main focus, Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). A key point the committee states is that “nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression" ("IOM Nursing Report," 2010). By achieving a higher level of education, this will allow a nurse with a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) to be likely hired in an acute care setting over a nurse with and Associates...

...Women Leadership in Healthcare For decades women have served in the healthcare industry as the back bone of healthcare. They continue to work in all areas but have been given few opportunities to take leadership roles in healthcare organizations. This paper explores some of the reasons why women are circumvented in leadership roles and how women can be better prepared to lead in their organizations. The research concluded that women are effective leaders in comparison to their male counter parts. Leadership is an important concept in healthcare. It can simply be acknowledged as the ability to achieve a goal by using imagination, skill, relevant theory, and concepts that are supposed to lead an organization to success. The research conducted for this paper clearly demonstrates that women are an integral part of the ever changing healthcare domain as it relates to leadership. The need for gender diversity in leadership positions is critical for many organizations, especially in healthcare (Virick & Greer, 2012). Despite the fact that leadership is a complex social role, that arises from the actions to effect others in their roles, women can carry out such duties in the same manner, or even better than their male counterparts. (Fealy, McNamara, Casey, Geraghty, Butler, Halligan & Johnson, 2011). Historically, women have been underrepresented in leadership roles in all aspect of healthcare. As the trend of delivering care continues to change in the 21st century...

...degree is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. The master’s program is challenging and will take time from an individual’s personal life. An MBA can further a career, begin a new career, or fulfill a personal goal. In contemplating whether to obtain an MBA degree, I had to decide what value this degree would afford me. In obtaining this degree, it would further my education and could definitely be an asset to any future career choice that I may undertake when I retire from State Farm Insurance in a couple of years. In constructing and supporting this argument on whether to pursue an MBA, as a choice, I used the Jungian Personality Self-Assessment to foster insight into possible career paths and how other individuals perceive me. The self-assessment of the Jungian personality gives an individual through 16 personality types a better understanding of him or herself. The assessment measures thinking styles of individuals, modes of dealing with information and interactions for potential managers in group settings. My personality type was the INFP result that describes individuals reserved, creative, and highly idealistic with a possible career as an architect, journalist, educational consultant, missionary, actor, artist, and poet. I agreed with some of the result tactics but some of the career choices noted would not be choices that I would have chosen for myself. The Jungian 16 Type Personality test helped me to understand how my coworkers may perceive me as I perceive...
