1. What percentage of nurses found it difficult to manage their parent education group?

It was discovered in the survey that 45% of nurses found it difficult to manage their parent education group.

2. Did nurses with greater years of experience report having an easier time managing their parent group? Explain the importance of this finding.

In the article it explained that just because nurses have more years of experience did not necessarily mean they were going to have an easier time managing their parent group. This finding shows that not every parent group going to be the same. Each group will have their own unique quirks which will make them easier or more difficult to manage.

How did technology impact the parent education groups?

Technology makes teaching parents very difficult. With all the information that is online parents read it and then ask questions about it to parent educators. Parent educators have to know what parents are talking about so they can give advice on the best course of action. This makes it so parent educators need to be up to date on all the new studies and information coming out.

5. Two interventions intended to assist nurses in their group leadership are highlighted. Which one were nurses more likely to use? Why do you think nurses chose one strategy over the other more often?
There were two types of interventions in this study the first intervention was a booklet provided by child health services on group leadership. The second intervention was a training session that was also accompanied with a training manual. Almost eighty percent of the nurses attended the training session. The nurses as I clearly stated earlier chose to take advantage of the training sessions over the booklet. I think they choose this method because it is more personalized giving them a hands on experience. Later the nurses can use the manuals given to them as a reference back to their training, to assess how to go about leading a

(2008). I would like to challenges Chief Nurse Executives (CNEs) to lead the journey and highlights how patients, their families, and health care organizations would benefit immeasurably if CNEs stepped forward and accepted this leadership role, then and only then can the best practice changes begin to improve what we as nurses already know.

Hughes R, Dailey M.

Marquis and Huston (2014) discuss how the mark of a good nursing leader is in the ability to inspire and motivate others to action; furthermore, no one leadership style is ideal and may vary according to the situation. The purpose of this paper is to match and explain the nursing leadership theory that is most applicable to solving communication issues, and to explain how legislation and health care policy can impact communication issues in the nursing. Nursing Leadership Theory Nursing leadership is complex and multifaceted and has been cited as a main reason nurses leave their current position (Blake, Leach, Robbins, Pike, & Needleman, 2013).

Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Indeed, in an ever-changing, complex health care environment, nursing leadership has become a crucial factor in managing challenges and maintaining patient safety (Fischer, 2016).

However, there are certain strategies that can overcome these barriers. For instance, the nurse’s resistance to change and poor communication of objectives is overcome by constant communication of the benefits of this leadership style not just through word, but also through actions until they understand its

Over the years I have learned to participate without feeling the need to dominate the situation. I have also learned to trust others to contribute to group work and do their part. Throughout this facilitation process I felt an unusual sense of powerlessness, a lack of control over both the content, as well as the presentation and I often felt as though I wasn’t heard, or that my opinion didn’t matter. There was too much noise and confusion with other members desperately needing to control things. However, upon reflecting on this facilitation process I have come to realize that at the bedside in nursing I will be interacting with some very strong personalities, in particular frightened and frustrated patients and family members.

Understaffing in hospitals is a major problem that has been affecting healthcare workers and patients for many years. I have chosen to highlight understaffing as a patient safety issue because of the consequences that can arise from it. Shortages in staffing can result in an increase of infection rates (Stone et al., 2007) leading to complications and poorer patient outcomes (Needleman et al. 2002). This particular issue is of interest to me because I have experienced and witnessed it myself. As a midwifery student in a busy maternity hospital, I can appreciate the hard work and dedication each midwife gives to their patients.

Nurses (both Licensed Vocational Nurses and Registered Nurses) make up the largest part of the health care, and have greater opportunities practicing in different disciplines and departments. In Black’s Professional Nursing, he states, “the profession of nursing is more than ever requiring the education of well-trained, flexible, and knowledgeable nurses who can practice in today’s evolving health care environment.” (Black, 2017, p.1). There are different reasons that influenced my decision of seeking a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN).

Transactional Leadership Frequently referred to as a managerial approach to leadership, the transactional leadership style is centered on improving efficiencies within an organization or team (McShane & Von Glinow, 2015). Leaders practicing the transactional approach focus on the details of the step by step processes and workflows using a reward and punishment system to encourage workgroup production (Dartey-Baah, 2015). As errors and inconsistent results are part of the expected norm, transactional leaders succumb to the belief that employees require ongoing monitoring and supervision to ensure compliance with the expected work practices. When used with an experienced high performing staff, the constant supervision and punitive nature of the transactional leadership style can be counterproductive, causing a decrease in production and satisfaction among some groups. In contrast, when used with newly formed production units, the transactional style has been known to improve employee engagement and response (Breevaart et al., 2014).

They are able to connect, communicate and coordinate across multiple departments, professional opinions and voices, and the daily schedules of patients. Advocating and designing care with the patient and family is a true skills set and cultural attribute that adds tremendously to a culture of safety and patient – centeredness but requires the most able leadership to build these bridges across the many professionals engaged in care. Building this culture is a leadership challenge and there is no one in my experience better able to make these changes than nursing leaders ( Maureen Bisognano, 2009). Nurses should not just be at the bedside or within the nursing community but must be involved as leaders and decision – makers throughout the healthcare system. As Maureen Bisognano (2009) points out, the best nurses are accomplished envoys among different players and interests involved in direct patient care, which is a skill needed throughout organizations and businesses, not just in hospitals or
