Healthy Work Environments: Decision Making In Nursing
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Nursing requires some of the most attentive, detailed and organized staff of all industries; to make even one error in judgment or application can cost a life. As such, decision-making ability is of utmost importance from the moment students step into a nursing program to the day of retirement decades later. There is simply no room for lapse in decisiveness when it comes to making choices for another person's health, therefore, principles such as critical thinking and cognitive competence must work in tandem with decision-making for their synergistic components. To look lightly at making nursing decisions is to fail to uphold the inherent and unique responsibilities that guide the industry's overall mission, particularly where ethics are concerned.

A 24 page paper discussing the value of the hermeneutic phenomenological method of inquiry in nursing.

High Nursing Turnover Rate
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses nursing retention rates. A consistent challenge for nurse managers today is to control staff nurse turnover rates, which average as high as 21 percent in some areas (Kleinman, 2004). According to the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE), in 2002, the national average turnover rates for nurses working in the US was 21.3 percent (Kleinman, 2004).

This examination of this problem does so within the context of a hypothetical case scenario. First of all, however, background information on this issue is presented in order to identity the parameters of this problem, provide analysis and present a rationale for its solution.
