Asynchronous Online Format

Essay #1

Your first essay assignment is to write 2-4 pages about your most memorable job.  This is a vast subject, so you will have to narrow it down to a specific topic about which you have something meaningful to say, such as your impressions of social statuses in this workplace or how your relationship with your boss affected (or continues to affect) you.  Keep in mind that an essay is not a journal entry; it may be personal, but your audience must be able to follow what you’ve written.  You will be drawing from memories for this essay, so pay attention to how you arrange your ideas.  Your goal is to give the reader some insight into an aspect of your memorable job, so remember to include sufficient detail.

If you have never had a job, you may focus on a memorable class that you have taken, either in college or high school.

Your essay should be double spaced and typed in 12-point font, and please remember to include your name, the date, the assignment, the class name and time, and the title at the top of your essay.  Example:

Chapter 1: Compare how Louisa decided to become a nurse to your own decision to pursue nursing- (Short paragraph)

Chapter 3: Louisa-aka “Nurse Periwinkle”- describes her introduction to nursing a flood of incoming wounded and what the rhythm of the day was. Select a few (1-3) lines from this chapter that stood out to you. (Cut and paste them.)

Chapter 4a: Her nursing care of the “Duty Room”, “The Pleasure Room” and “The Pathetic Room” as night nurse was very vivid. The categories are not that different from today’s units in hospitals. What alternative names would you use for the 3 different categories to help you prioritize care?

Chapter 4b: The author’s story of John and the end of life care perfectly capture nursing at its best and demonstrates the privilege of nursing another individual at their most vulnerable. Write a short paragraph on how the professional relationship between nurse and patient can make a memorable impact on the nurse. (This could be a whole paper, but try to be concise.)

Chapter 5: The author answers readers questions and depicts Louisa. Were you surprised as she was by how cordially and professionally the nurses were treated by the doctors? (Y/N/maybe and 1 sentence explaining your answer.)

What line in this chapter made you realize that doctors (surgeons in this case) are people too? (Cut and paste one line here)

Explain how you would provide leadership for the implementation of the new system.

/in /by

The healthcare industry is dynamic. Every patient is different. Every situation is different. A good healthcare leader must be able to address situations as they arise and make decisions accordingly. Consider the leadership styles that would be especially helpful in this scenario:
You recently accepted the nurse manager position of a busy emergency department (ED) in a new organization that had 100,000 ED visits last year. These visits represent a 10% increase over the previous year. To meet the needs for staffing required for this sudden growth, the prior nurse manager hired 10 new nursing graduates and 10 nurse travelers that arrived on the unit a few weeks before you came. The breakdown in level of tenure and experience in your staff is: 25% highly tenured in this ED and experienced in this specialty; 25% tenured within the organization and proficient in this specialty; and 30% less than 2 years in the ED/organization and competent in this specialty. The remaining 20% of your staff are the experienced ED nurse travelers and inexperienced new nurses, both groups that are new to the organization.
One of your first new responsibilities as the ED nurse manager is to provide unit-based leadership for the implementation of a new patient tracking system that offers more functionality than the previous tracking system used by this ED for the past 7 years. During the hiring process, you learned that the organization was going to implement this new patient tracking system, and you shared that you had experience in implementing the same system in your previous job.
Assignment (5 pages – not including title page and reference page):
Write a paper in which you demonstrate how you, as the leader in the case example provided, would address the following:
Explain how you would provide leadership for the implementation of the new system. Include a description of the leadership behaviors that would be most effective to position your staff for success based on their experience and needs.
Explain how this implementation plan relates to your Clifton Strengths Signature Theme Report, including how this leadership situation aligns with or differs from your leadership profile.
Explain your rationale for your choices and appropriately reference literature that supports your thinking.
Explain how being able to successfully implement situational leadership better positions you to advocate for social change within your new organization on behalf of the patient population served.
