Write a 3 page analysis that assesses your professional development needs as a nurse leader.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

For professional nurse-leaders, effective communication skills are essential for interprofessional teamwork and collaboration. Kelly and Tazbir (2014) emphasize the importance of this interaction:

Interprofessional teamwork and collaboration among staff nurses and other disciplines in the health care setting are so critical to optimizing patient care safety and outcomes that they are a priority for most health care administrators, directors, and managers (p. 140).

Successful leadership strategies are based on a leader’s strengths, the situation, the environment, and the stakeholders involved. Developing a plan for professional development is integral in developing leadership and management skills.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 1: Integrate key nursing leadership, management, and communication concepts into collaborative practice situations.
    • Differentiate between leadership and management.
    • Explain key nursing leadership, management, and communication concepts that facilitate collaboration and support interprofessional teams.
    • Describe a personal leadership and communication style.
    • Identify skills or areas for future professional development.
  • Competency 5: Communicate in manner that is consistent with the expectations of a nursing professional.
    • Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and current APA style.

 

Use the Internet to research key nursing leadership, management, and communication concepts, and take several self-assessment tests to identify your leadership style and understand how to adapt your style to various situations. Although most of the free online tests are informal measures of skills and attitudes, the results may provide helpful insight into your leadership style and strengths and weaknesses.

Instructions

Deliverable: Develop a Professional Development Needs Assessment.

HR requires you to submit a Professional Development Needs Assessment so future training sessions are designed to meet those self-identified needs.

Use the following subheadings to organize your Professional Development Needs Assessment:

  • Leader and Manager: Differentiate between leadership and management.
    • What job tasks require a manager?
    • What situations require a leader?
  • Key Concepts: Explain key nursing leadership, management, and communication concepts that facilitate collaboration and support interprofessional teams.

Finally, there was testimony that the hospital had no formal policy for which nurse was to document narcotics in the paper record when two nurses, such as a preceptor and a mentee, both had responsibility for the patient. The nurse who was suspended testified that she, too, frequently entered data into the paper record long after she had administered the medication and, in some rare instances, entered the data on the following day.

D iscrepancies were noted between this nurse’s patients’ electronic data for narcotic administration and the handwritten notations made on the paper record. The nurse was first questioned by her supervisors and then she was suspended, as they did not find her explanations credible. Her grievance was upheld by the arbitrator assigned to the case and the hospital appealed. A t trial, other nurses from the same unit testified that they frequently completed their paper record documentation during their breaks or at the end of the shift, often when they could not remember exactly what medications or dosages they had administered to patients. There was additional information that the nurses would electronically sign for narcotics, prepare IV drip bags in advance of when they were needed, and then discard these same IV bags when they were no longer required or the physicians had changed the medication orders.

In the emergency center, the child was examined by an ANP who found a vaginal tear, which the ANP felt could have been caused by digital penetration. The child would not talk about the injury with the ANP. T he ANP then discussed the child’s case with the child protective services worker, and the child was admitted to the facility.

  •   licensed practical nurse (LPN) employed by a nursing personnel agency worked one evening shift at the Veterans Administration Hospital in a major city. She cared for a patient who had recently undergone hip replacement surgery. Since his surgery, the patient had consistently spiked significant temperatures, and his temperature generally responded well to oral Tylenol, 500 mg, 2 tablets, every 4 hours as needed. The change nurse explained to the LPN that the patient was to continue on vital signs every 4 hours, including temperatures, and that he was to be medicated if his fever increased, even if only at low-grade levels.  During the evening that she worked, the LPN obtained the patient’s temperature at 4 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. He had a lowgrade fever at the 4 p.m. hour and his temperature had risen to 102 degrees orally at 8 p.m. At both intervals, the LPN administered Tylenol as ordered. The charge nurse did not assess the patient during the evening, nor did she inquire about the patient’s condition. The nurse caring for the patient at midnight noted that his temperature was still elevated (102.4 orally). When notified, the attending physician ordered blood cultures, additional treatment for his ever-increasing fever, and a change in antibiotic therapy.
