An afternoon with Adam Patch.

First of all I want to thanks my professor for making us going to these wonderful presentation. Since these event happens, I have decided  to be happier and share my love to all humankind. Adam's speech have inspire me to really focus in the most important thing in life, that is to enjoy every single minute that we live on earth. By helping others ,we can forget our problems, like depression. He said that service is the best medicine for these illness.  He taught us that ,by serving and loving others we can able to heal from our sadness and loneliness that is reason why so many people end their lives. I don't  want retribution for my service, I will do it  because I really care about my fellow being. I can't wait to go someday were people really need me, But for now I will love and help to those who surrounded me.

Power gap in females nurses.

More than ever is the need for good nurse managers. Sometime the power gap is in the way. But studying this chapter in my book I learning how to overcome these problem and start enhancing the power we need to become the best manager. First of all we must irradiate positive energy; we can develop this energy by taking care of ourselves, like engaging in physical fitness so we can be empower with energy and stamina to confront stressful  times  at work. Also having a good relations with our families will gives support and happiness.
Presenting ourselves as a professionals well groomed, erect posture and with good communications skills are important to succeed.
Working hard at all times, specially working with the team and be and example is a must to succeed as a manager.
Have good relationship with all the manager and shared strong values. Learn the culture of the organization, prioritize your goals for the organizations. Increase your skills to the master level will give you more power. Look to other managers for advice and counseling. Broadened your vision towards the community. Be flexible to others. For management sense of humor is a plus to have and one of the more important attributes empower to others by sharing knowledge and supporting each other. I going to work in developing these skills at my current nursing job so I can become an excellent nurse for the benefit of my patients and the community in general.

Operational and Strategic Planning

We are in a changing world, were organizations forms of management are changing too. The management theorist have learn more about human behavior. Many organizations are creating an environment less rigid to their employees. At the moment I doing my rotation at the Cath Lab, the manager and employees are enjoying to work together, outside of their working days they are engage in social activities like hunting and dinning. And all of the employees are invited nobody is left behind. The working atmosphere is less tense and they work as a team. What a example of a unit. All the employees are engaged into benefit the unit. The manager is an example of fairness and discipline. I think people work better in a place were is less bureaucracy and were the employees are empower; and in consequence the patients are the ones who will benefit.

Ethics during the end of life in the hospital.

In the hospital settings we nurses encounter patients near the end of life. In the medical records the advanced directive is available, but does not transfer from unit to unit or hospital to another facility; in consequence  postponing the death of the patient. End of life documents should be a team work between nurses and doctors and of course computerize tools.
We nurses have the ethical duty to communicate with the patient, family and physicians about these issues and resolve any conflict between the patient and relatives. The health team should respect the person's values and wishes at the end of life by maintaining comfort and dignity.

Leadership Roles & Management Functions in Nursing

I taking a new class at UVU called Nursing Leadership and Development, I liked this class is a new area that I learning in my profession. Last week we discuss about requirements for successful leadership and management in the health arena. Mainly three requirements are imperative to become a good leader; and are decision making abilities, problem solving skills and critical thinking abilities. These all interrelate with each other. Also managers have to have courage, energy and creativity and of course use the scientific approach for problem solving. Myself I will like to develop those skills to be an excellent leader in my life and of course at my work.
