With this knowledge I plan to work toward a more cost effective and delivery system with healthcare provided to the patient population. In building a stronger healthcare system it will not only be profitable, but will also provide better care to all the patient population. As a registered nurse (RN), I have learned that I need to stay flexible and be able to adjust and adapt to the constant change that comes along in my profession. Also as an RN, I look at the healthcare profession as a revolving door, which constantly spins out new concepts, methods, and approaches. I think this will help prepare me for a management position in my field because it is imperative for a manager in this profession to have the ability to adapt, adjust and welcome new ideas and concepts directed to him or her.

Why I Chose Nursing Being a nurse is a very influential and rewarding profession. Nurses care for people through illness, injury, pain, loss, dying, grieving, birth, growth, aging and health. They not only care for people through illness, but they also promote health, prevent diseases and educate the public. We all know that nursing is a field that is concerned with helping people, yet I believe that in becoming a nurse, a person needs more than that desire to succeed. It is essential for a nurse to be open, strong, determined, thoughtful and caring.

The nurse should reflect a high degree of professionalism to patients, the public, and other professionals. Teamwork is a major characteristic of professional nursing. Many times nurses will need assistance helping their patients, and people will be more apt to lend a helping hand if you yourself go out of your way to help others. This not only helps your coworkers but in the long run provides faster more efficient care for the patients. Teamwork may be one of the most important professional characteristics in healthcare.
Better Teamwork, Better Patient Care Sabrina Haight Baker College of Cadillac Better Teamwork, Better Patient Care A health care team has a duty to provide effective, quality care in order to enhance the health and well-being of its patients. Every professional on that team has different roles to play in providing that standard of care. These roles range from CNA to nurse to physician, with many other interdisciplinary roles as well, like paramedic, respiratory therapist, or social worker. Each person has distinct expertise and skills to contribute that can be applied to the patient’s care. Organization and cooperation must be integrated into the team to ensure that needs of the patient are adequately met.
Such perspective demands are necessary for the planning of continuous performance improvement. Implementing and utilizing plans that are put into place will help the organization to achieve the desired result of operating smoothly. The responsibilities that a health care manager faces today can be challenging and overwhelming. With the knowledge that I have received from this course, I want to be able to incorporate all the roles into the tasks that a health care manager faces daily. I wish to also be able
Delegation is an important function in any organization and in today’s environment we see it becoming increasingly important in the health care setting. For management to make the best use of their time and skills effective delegation of tasks to the staff assists in their growth and development, builds confidence and trust, and increases the amount of work completed. Effective delegating provides benefits to the organization when managers mobilize resources, share responsibilities, and focus on doing a few tasks well, rather than many things less effectively resulting in increased management and leadership potential. The need for accessible, affordable, quality health care and an ever-growing shortfall of practitioners and providers means that health care managers must use every health care worker and ensure appropriate delegation of authority and tasks. With the United States currently experiencing a critical shortage of Nurses, health care organizations and policy makers realize they must depend on their licensed Nurses to delegate nursing tasks to licensed and unlicensed health care workers (Nursing Shortage Fact Sheet, 2010).
The Importance of Teams Health care organization teams serve an important purpose, when positioned properly within the organization, advantage, and consumer satisfaction gained to boost organizational success. Having a team not only allows the work to divide, but it also promotes for various points of view and new ideas. With teams also come difficulties, but with the right leadership, problems can be resolved. My priorities as a manager are to improve the efficiency and satisfaction with both my staff and those we serve. To do so requires a dynamic plan to incorporate competitive systems and a workforce of concentrated efforts to overshadow all others.
