Barrier #8 Lack of Opportunities for Advancement  

There are multiple barriers in leadership when it comes to nursing. Many of the barriers arise from different situations many nurses find themselves in (Nininger). “For example, fear, negative prior experiences, and family commitments are barriers that depend on the nurse to resolve” (Nininger).  These situations vary from region to region and nurse to nurse. One of the barriers that is more common across the board is lack of opportunities. The need for nurses continues to grow each year, more and more new nurses are entering the field on the daily. While nursing as a career continues to grow, the leadership does not. Leadership opportunities are far and few, making them very saturated with well qualified nurses. On top of it being a rare find, most leadership roles are found through networking taking the emphasis away from the bedside skill many new nurses need to perfect first.

Last Discussion 8

 

Go back to the discussion topic in Week 1 and review your discussion posts.

Have any of your thoughts or concepts of trends in nursing have changed since week 1.  Please share specific examples.

BELOW IS MY POST FROM WEEK 1:

 

When I think of issues and trends in nursing, I think of how there are constant changes in the management of patients and healthcare facilities based on the prevailing social, technological and economic changes. Issues and trends in nursing are patterns, development and changes that occur in the healthcare sectors to enhance the delivery of care services. Nursing issues and trends encompass a wide range of issues depending on the challenges the nursing sector faces at a particular time.

Issues and trends have affected nursing regulations and policies, particularly in the United States. Constant amendments and changes of policies and laws affecting nurses are crucial to ensure that healthcare personnel work within the framework of the law. The national, state and country are changed to fit international laws and policies. Nurses across the globe should be updated on the current issues and trends in nursing policies and regulations to comply with patient care.

Due to technological advancement, nurses must continue implementing new technologies to enhance data storage and real-time retrieval of patients’ medical care to facilitate care based on evidence-based information. The current trends in implementing advanced technologies in the nursing sector are in the right direction. For instance, implementing electronic health records (EHR) has improved communication and collaboration between nurses, particularly during patient complications and medical errors through the Internet.

I understand that the nursing sector is dynamic and influenced by other factors such as social, economic and politics of not only countries but the entire world. In this regard, nurses keep changing their methods, laws, policies, and techniques to handle patient challenges.

 Topic:  Organizational Planning/Planned Change 

-How do you typically respond to change? Do you embrace it? Seek it out? Accept it reluctantly? Avoid it at all cost? Is this behavior like that of your friends and that of your family? Has your behavior always fit this pattern, or has the pattern changed throughout your life? If so, what life events have altered how you view and respond to change?
