Hi Derreck,
Thank you for reading my post and for the kind feedback. Part of the nurse manager’s responsibility is to engage nurses in coming up with creative ways to increase the unit’s productivity. Learning House (2007) cited great ideas on how to enhance productivity, e.g., eliminating inefficient processes, wise use of supplies and care in the use of equipment, being mindful of sick calls/overtime, and promoting the unit services through adept marketing strategies. I agree, that wastefulness kills productivity. One solution I would suggest is for the staff to suppose that’s it’s their money that is being wasted.
