Leadership in Nursing Essential to quality patient care is the effective functioning of an interdisciplinary team. In most clinical settings, nurses have the closest relationship with patients. For that reason nurses need to take an active role in the interdisciplinary team, they are the front line providers, ensure communication between team members and the patient, and continually advocate for the patient and family. Nurses know how care should be delivered. They can ensure smooth handoffs as the patient transitions through the continuum.
I will be a nurse; I will be taking care of people and helping them with their physical and emotional need and I will make them feel as much comfortable as possible. For me nursing is life, nursing is education, nursing is caring for people and understanding what patient is in need for; that is how I would define nursing. My main goal in this point of life is to finish my nursing education and become a good nurse. I am highly inspired by the nurses and their beliefs and the way of communication with patient here. My values will always consider patient first, for me patient’s need and interest is always my first priority, therefor altruism is greatest value for me as a part of nursing.
I will first provide an overview of the issue in relation to both these fields of nursing and discuss why it is important and the impact it has on nursing care. I will then highlight any similarities and/or differences that may rise between the two fields. Adult nurses provide a high standard of essential personal care with dignity and compassion, while also being able to undertake complex interventions and use specialist skills, such as communication-the basic skill needed to survive as a nurse. Philippa Sully (2003) stated that “development of effective working relationships underpins all aspects of nursing practice. Whether we are exploring the best way to arrange shift cover or discuss with patients and their families the most appropriate community care, how we communicate depends on our professional relationships with all those involved.” In other words, communication is a key aspect in nursing as a whole.

Introduction 1.0 Introduction In this assignment the authors will apply management theory to a real world situation. A definition of an effective leader will be offered. The authors will then identify two Clinical Nurse Managers (CNM) they have worked with in clinical settings, addressing individually the qualities and behaviours of each person. For the purposes of this assignment the authors have selected CNMs who have similar roles within their respective nursing units. In order to preserve confidentiality pseudonyms will be used and each nursing unit referred to as A and B.
The trust and respect between the patient and nurse will increase. With increased trust comes improved conversation, the patient may tell her/him more things that may be useful in developing a faster treatment for the patient. AccorConfidentiality protects private patient information once it has been disclosed in a health care setting. (Perry, Hall, 2013, p.780). It is the duty of the nurses to help protect patients’ right to confidentiality in an organization.
Essence of Nursing Leadership Melissa Frentz Submitted to Norma Yearick, MSN in partial fulfillment of NR 622- Advanced Leadership Concepts Regis University October 1, 2012 Essence of Nursing Leadership Leading groups of people can be life changing. When a person decides they want to lead they have to look at all aspects of their life and how they perceive themselves. They also have to see themselves how others see them. Leading within the career of nursing can also help a person understand themself, whether it is a formal position or an informal position. The essence of nursing leadership has many aspects.
The student nurse will reflect on health promotion issues as this stood out to me in several areas, The student nurse discovered that although we can nurse a patient back to health it is so important to make the patient aware of how necessary it is for them to participate in their care by adhering to what is recommended to them by various members of the Multidisciplinary Team and the devastating consequences that the patient can encounter if advice is ignored. The student nurse will use the Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle, this encouraged thinking systematically about all phases of an activity. Gibbs (1988) is descriptive with regards to feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusions and action plans, therefore ideal for this assignment. Although I experienced many different aspects of care regarding health promotions this assignment will concentrate mainly on a single event that will stay with me throughout my nursing career. According to Scottish Government (2010) Healthcare Quality Strategy for NHS Scotland, nurse’s carers and people at the heart of the healthcare and care delivery services should improve conditions in NHS Scotland and the care provided, on reading this strategy I understand a nurses responsibility, but the importance of patient participation in their own care is invaluable and the cooperation and communication with the Multidisciplinary Team is essential to complete patient care package to the highest standard.
I will also discuss in this paper the reflective account on the evidence base for the chosen area of practice; a critical discussion about the practice in the chosen area; a critical evaluation of the presentation, including strengths and areas that needs to be developed; and a model or framework of reflection to be used. Reflective practice in nursing is guided by models of reflection and it has been a familiar topic in nursing academic journals and the term is regularly used in professional nursing practice. However, it was not until I used Johns’
The following essay aims to identify how reflection in action and on action may impact on the provision of services by District Nurses. The author felt it important to define the two concepts, in order to understand their relevance to practice. It was found by Schon (1983) that reflection- in-action, was a nurses’ ability to understand how an individual was responding to a nursing intervention at the present time; in contrast to reflection-on-action which was thinking through a situation after it had occurred. From this understanding the author established through in depth reading that reflection has been a topic of discussion within nursing, health and social care professions for years (Kinsella, 2009). The theory of reflection has made the author identify the epistemology of reflection in and on action and the effect this can have on her professional growth.
