The activity was part of the NOD Continuity Binder –an effort by Ms. Smith and myself to improve the efficiency of the nursing supervisors at the facility. During todays practicum I grasped the importance of remaining flexible. Hospital administrators and even governing agencies can change regulations or expectations suddenly. As nurse managers we must be willing to adapt to change and to do so swiftly so that our units stay up to date with mandates. Ms. Smith’s flexibility and willingness to adapt were exemplary of the kind of nurse administrator I wish to become. Additionally, her ongoing effort to collaborate with others on the development of this binder show that she is truly a team player that values everyone’s contribution to the project.
