Blue Print for Nursing

1. Distributed ResponsibilityEffective Nursing leadership is aligned with the mission and value of an organization. Leadership culture emphasizes service, integrity, trust, competency, loyalty, effectiveness and an organizational perspective. The collaborative approach is demonstrated by strong interpersonal working relationships between staff, physicians, administration and finance to foster the strategic directions pertaining to quality people finance growth and customer satisfaction. Responsibilities are distributed and delegated to all members of nursing staff to empower and support competent decision-making using a shared governance framework.2. Non Stop Skill DevelopmentThere is an established environment of continuous skill development which includes teaching coaching and mentoring. This environment ensures competencies and a sound knowledge for demonstrating evidence based leadership competencies.3. Hard-wired AccountabilityAccountability is hardwired by setting clear expectations with mutually agreed upon time lines, validating objectives, recognition or revision in work plan. Nursing leadership and decisions affecting culture will be continuously measured against desired outcomes to ensure continued success.

Abstract Work stress and Burnout Among Nurses: Role

of the Work Environment and Working Conditions. As early as 1950 we began studying stress as a

factor for impairing nurses physically, creating anxiety and affecting decision making.

“Burnout” Women juggle roles of home and family Toxic Work environments Physical labor, human suffering, long work

hours, short staffing, interpersonal relationships are central to the work a nurse performs.

Real Stories, Real PeopleThe Stress Management 101 class was about to begin. Today's topic was Assessing Your Stress. Angie sat quietly in the back of the classroom. “Ok class, let's start by checking our resting heart rate”, the teacher announced. Angie's pulse was 105 beats per minute. “Next, check the number of breaths you take per minute.” Angie counted 30 breaths. “How long does it usually take you to fall asleep once you lie down at night?” Angie said it usually takes about two hours. “How much of the time do you feel high levels of stress?” Angie said she feels that way almost all the time. “Doesn't that feel unpleasant to always feel so stressed?” the teacher questioned. Angie's reply was both sad and common among college students, “I didn't know there was another way to feel. I assumed this was the way college life was supposed to be, and that everyone feels this way.”

SELF ASSESSMENT

Several years ago author Richard Carlson created a very catchy title for his best-selling book, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff…It Is All Small Stuff. He offered some important advice for our over-stressed society. We need to step back and relax. That is great advice. The problem is, not all stuff is small stuff. Some things are worth sweating over. The tricky part is determining what is really important and worthy of your energy and what is the “small stuff” that causes needless worry and decreases the quality of your life.

One of the great challenges for successful stress management is determining what it is that causes you stress. A certain level of stress can energize and motivate you to deal with the important issues in your life. You want to focus your energy on those things in your life that are truly important.

Research on StressDo you drag yourself to work every morning? Watch the clock wishing time would go faster? Feel exhausted and drained at the end of the day? Do you find it hard to switch off? Are you always looking forward to the weekend and then suffer Sunday night blues?

If you answered yes to any of these, then you’re not alone: 3 in 4 people working in the US don’t have a career that makes them happy and wish they could change career. That’s a whopping great 500,000 of us in the US feeling trapped in jobs we don’t enjoy - no wonder up to 75% of all illnesses in the US can be related to stress.

While it’s an employer’s responsibility to create a stress-free work culture and environment, it’s up to each and every one of us to make sure our own career is in good shape and that we have a work-life balance that keeps us happy and healthy.
