Insufficient staffing causes tension and stress among nurses. When there is not enough staff for patient care, it can cause nurses to compromise the safety of the patient, infection rates begin to increase and patient and families are not satisfied with their patient care. These are just a few areas that can be affected by inadequate nurse staffing. Hospitals should have a staffing plan, patient are people with needs, and one person with a particular illness may take more time from a nurse than another patient of the exact same age with the exact same problem. There are an increasing number of turnover rates, and staff absentees. Providing the appropriate amount of staffing should be the number one priority for any health care setting.

I have seen nurses who are more concern about the patient well-being than being more concern about what job they can transfer to, or concern about what hospital pays more. When a nurse gets involve with their whole body and mind then the patient outcome is more positive than negative (Watson, 2016).
Helping a patient with their chlorhexidine bath before surgery, explaining the upcoming procedure and addressing the patient fears can be used as an example of jean Watson theory. This example allows the nurse to take time out and focus on the patient’s questions and concern, instead of focusing on their work load and other tasks that needs to be accomplish. Another example of applying Watson theory is when managers are the role model to their staff. Showing caring with staff, can begin to be seen in nurses showing that same caring with their patients. Watson theory is being used even now, as a travel nurse I see many hospitals implementing caring as part of their education training. Most of the hospital implement the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and System (HCAPS) survey. It is a patient satisfaction survey that allows the patient to rate their care. This allow the hospital to be reimburse from the ratings they received from the survey. Some of the questions asked are how often did you see your nurse, did you receive the same nurse …show more content…
The borrowed theory also support the nurses in creating arguments on what can encounters some situations and actions might be taken ( Baker, 2009).
Middle range theories are more effective, they can be identified and explain as having frequent occurrences and they are plain and testable. (McEwen & Wills, 2011).
Idealizing influence and caring as a vision. We as nurses have all agreed to adhere to the core values and the vision of the hospital to provide the most upmost quality of care for the patient. Soon to be a nurse educator, I am excited to promote and encourage these theories into practice. Being an inspiration and a motivational builder as a leader will give new nurses the support they need to adopt the hospital culture. Individualize and rewarding the staff verbally, asking their input will allow the staff to feel acknowledge and value as a member than just an employee.
