Nursing Leaders in Contemporary Organizations
[ send me this paper ]

The organizational structure also must be designed in such a way that it provides the leader with the freedom necessary to exercise creativity and effective leadership. This paper discusses an effective leader at Hamot Medical Center in terms of the types of leadership theory she uses and the support that the medical center’s organizational structure provides. Includes an abstract. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Nursing Malpractice
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the growing trend toward naming nurses in malpractice claims, reviewing current literature on the subject and making recommendations for the future. It is a common view that greater numbers can be attracted with higher salaries, and that appears to be true to a point. Beyond that point, however, other factors take on greater weight. There is no mystery in what those other factors are; Maslow defined them quite well and clearly nearly 40 years ago. Providing security and meeting basic needs is only the first step. Beyond that is a sense of belonging and ultimately self-actualization. As nursing continues to evolve, current leaders need to be working for greater possibilities for self-actualization in nursing. Doing so can lead to better patient outcomes in the present, while also making nursing more attractive to those not already in the profession. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Nursing Need to Delegate
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that discusses the need for RNs to delegate tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel. While unlicensed assistive personnel (UAPs) are available in a number of clinical environments, overworked and harried registered nurses (RNs) will frequently fail to take full advantage of the capabilities of UAPs by not delegating tasks.

The ability to delegate effectively is needed in order to oversee the non-RN nursing workforce that will inevitably be required in order to maintain sufficient level so patient care (Buerhaus, et al, 2002).
