N4455 Nursing Leadership and Management

Module 2 Assignment 1: Organizational Analysis – Shadowing Plan

Name: Tesha Fox Date: 5/29/18

Overview: Organizational Analysis

The major assignment for this course is analysis of an organization. You will study and report on its structure, processes, and nurse leaders. To get a glimpse of the roles and responsibilities of a nurse leader, meet with a BSN nurse leader at least two levels above your current position in your organization and request opportunities to observe some of the tasks the nurse leader directs.

If you are unable to observe these tasks you may interview the nurse leader/manager as an alternative. Obviously, there are situations in which you will not be able to observe or participate in meetings or other events or tasks, but you should be able to work with the nurse leader to schedule an interview and at least three specific leadership tasks to discuss.

Complete this assignment to describe which organizational leader you will interview and the plans for the experience. For verification of plans and scheduling, provide contact information of the leader with whom you will be working.

If you are unable to shadow or interview a nurse leader, you may shadow or interview a leader or manager in a non-healthcare related field. You will need to notify your coach.

Objectives

 Explain how organizations function.

 Compare and contrast characteristics of leadership and management.

 Apply trends, issues, theories, and evidence as guidelines for management decisions.

 Evaluate effectiveness of communications patterns using specific management situations.

Shadowing Plan

In the space below, describe your plan for observing a nurse leader in your organization as the leader is engaged in leadership tasks. First, schedule an interview with the nurse leader (at least two levels above your current position) and record that date and time. Include descriptions of activities, your expected roles or behaviors as an observer or participant, and schedules of the activities. Explain the types of things you will be looking for and how you will record your observations. (Space will expand as you type.)

Please remember to send a thank-you note to the nurse leader you interview.

I will do an interview with Natasha Spencer RN, BSN, Clinical Supervisor in the Emergency Department. We will have our interview on Friday June 1st at 1200. I will inquire about her three main duties which include; managing staffing including productivity and budgeting, onboarding new staff, and coaching and corrective action of staff. Since I will not be able to observe her in these roles, I intend to ask as many questions as possible about each task until I fully understand how the processes work. I have worked under her, so I know her management style. I have witnessed her in these roles in the past and will take that into consideration during our interview. I will record our conversation to go back and relisten to it, so I do not miss anything. I will also take notes in shorthand during the interview. I will have questions ready when we meet and will ask any additional questions that pop into my mind as we go through the interview process.

Nurse Leader’s Contact Information

For verification of the plan and any questions your Instructor or Academic Coach may have, please provide contact information for the nurse leader with whom you will be working. Include name, title, credentials, phone, and email.

Natasha Spencer, Clinical Supervisor RN, BSN
