nursing (leadership WK 2)

Assignment

Session 2 Discussion

Instructions:

Change is really hard for people to accept- nurses are no different, as evidenced by resounding claims of ‘But we’ve always done it this way. Why do we have to change what we’re doing if it works?’ Please choose one of the change theories that were covered in the readings this week and apply it to a proposed change in practice in delivering patient care. An example could be something like a change in giving shift report from doing this at the nurse’s station to moving it to the bedside. Choose something that is an issue on your unit or that you have seen as an issue in your clinical rotations.

· Why do you think that this theory would be most effective in managing this change and making it sustainable?

· As the leader/manager, how will you deal with the resistance that is sure to accompany the change? Please explain the differences as to how a leader would handle this as opposed to a manager.

Please include at least one citation, besides your book, when completing your post.

Note for you. The session two covered the chapter 14 so when you do the assignment let it be in line with it. I have attached the pdf copy of the textbook as well as the rubric for this assignment.
