Systems Theory stressed that if an individual is unaware of one’s own emotional well-being then the unsettling negative forces can maneuver towards individuals in patient care setting (Shanta, & Connolly, 2013). Furthermore, King’s Systems Theory noted that the nurse who is…

Roussel, Thomas and Harris (2016) states “Nurse leaders have financial responsibility, are accountable for managing the nursing budget, and make decisions about how to adjust the nursing budget based on organizational priorities” (p. 168). A unit or department sets a budget to control the cost the organization is spending. The budget is also related to patient safety and quality of care provided.

The knowledge gained was then applied to my arsenal of skills needed to establish wisdom and values essential to becoming a nurse of…

Implementing good effective shared governance can help to identify any poor practices quickly. Systems that encourage nurses to raise concerns and are willing to address these concerns raise healthcare performance across the board (Snow, 2012). Ott and Ross find that nurses most frequently raise concerns over patient care and safety. Shared governance councils improve nurses’ ownership of patient care which in turn increases the reporting care issues and safety concerns to unit-based groups.…

means: “assessment and improvement of work processes while focusing on what customers want and need” (p. 379). The following discussion is an example of how the Emory Healthcare, whose motto is “we’re all in this together”, tries to be a national leader in quality improvement and patient safety using ‘the cornerstones of QM: quality, scientific approach, and “all in one team” ‘(Werner, p. 379).

evidenced-based practice models. Some models are relevant for education purposes while others are appropriate for use in the clinical setting. Evidenced-based practice guides the researcher to break apart the intricacies’ and apply to clinical practice. The series of steps to determine the appropriateness of the EBP model lies in the utilization of research findings in clinical practice, the movement into sustained implementation and routine use. Finally the third component consist of…
