It is important to understand the effects that a nursing shortage has on the economy and the health care system.

...STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE AND SAFETY ISSUES AMONG NURSES IN THE PHILIPPINES Abstract Personality differences among employees can lead to a tense and less productive work environment. Differences in race, gender, religious conviction, sexual orientation, and age can cause fear and uneasiness among employees. These feelings are often associated with confusion or powerlessness. Diversity and sensitivity training can assist employees in embracing each other’s unique qualities. “To accept differences, we have to understand differences, and there is no better way to do this than to learn to communicate with people who are different than you” (Lieberman, 2007). When employees feel overwhelmed, they can lose self-confidence, become irritable or act withdrawn. This behavior directly impacts productivity, and work becomes less rewarding. J. Segal, R. Segal, Horwitz, Jaffe-Gi[ http://www.termpaperwarehouse.com/essay-on/Managing-Stress-In-The-Workplace/54320 In this article, work-related problems among a sample of nurses in the Philippines are described.

Reprint R0807E The Competitive Imperative of Learning The Idea in Brief Most managers believe that relentless execution—the efficient, timely production and delivery of offerings—is vital to corporate performance. Execution-as-efficiency is important. But focusing too narrowly on it can prevent your company from adapting effectively to change. Consider General Motors: Managers’ confidence in GM’s famously efficient control systems blinded them to big shifts in the market, including customers’ preferences for fuel-efficient cars. GM posted a $38.7 billion loss in 2007. Edmondson recommends widening your lens to include execution-as-learning. Companies that use this approach focus not just on carrying...

...TASK 1- ANALYSIS In Shafait’s hospital, there were some rumours among nurses about the time table issue that needed to be solved. The management came up with the new working arrangements without any consultation with the staff. They imposed it on the staff, resulting in a number of nurses living the hospital for others. According to Rensis Likert’s Theory, when management uses fear and threats and communication is top down with decisions taken at the top and there is a gap between superiors and subordinates, that management style is exploitive authoritative. In Paula’s case ward sisters were invited to a meeting with the matron. In turn the sisters organised a meeting with they own staff to explain the new arrangements and its benefits. Questions were invited, although some said there have no impacts on the management’s final decisions about what was best for them. From Rensis Likert’s Theory perspective, when information flowing upward is restricted to what management want to hear, policy decisions come from the top and only some prescribed decision that can be delegated to lower levels, one can easily assume that a benevolent authoritative management style is being applied. Contrary to Shafait and Paula, In Jackie’s hospital the ward sisters were instructed to discuss the problem of changes with their own nurses. Afterwards the ward sisters attended a meeting chaired by the matron where they discussed all the viewpoints of the staff. After the...

...and absolutely loved it. Four years later I began my journey in nursing leadership. My first leadership position was the supervisor of an operating room, and was promoted to a nurse manager a few years later. Looking back, I’m not sure how I remained in management, I had little to no mentorship or guidance. Since then I have developed a passion for mentoring nurses and helping them be successful in both staff and leadership roles. Performing both inpatient and outpatient procedures, I get to be involved in the care of healthy and ill adult patients undergoing surgery, endoscopic procedures, and pain management procedures. I have a holistic approach to nursing care, and place the patient in the center of the care they receive during their stay. Of course, there are times during a patient’s stay, the focus must be placed in a particular area, such as patient safety in the operating room. Another important focus while the patient is undergoing surgery is the patient’s family and loved ones. We adopted a standardized process for keeping families informed during a patient’s stay with us. We also allow visitors in the day surgery and post anesthesia areas. My leadership style is similar to my nursing practice; I base my approach on achieving the desired results for the individual I’m working with. I believe in teaching, mentoring, and coaching nurses to provide holistic care and to help them identify the direction...
