Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
National Nursing Organizations II01:30

National Nursing Organizations II

Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Healthcare Management
  • Competency Development

Background:

  • Previous research identified core nursing informatics competencies but highlighted the need for job-specific lists.
  • Generic nurse manager positions are vital for leadership and support in healthcare settings.
  • Developing specialized competencies is crucial for advancing nursing informatics practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To produce a job-specific list of informatics competencies for generic nurse manager positions.
  • To refine the Master List of Nursing Informatics Competencies for a specific role.
  • To establish a foundation for developing and evaluating nurse manager informatics skills.

Main Methods:

  • A three-round Delphi study was conducted with expert informatics nurses from the US Veterans' Healthcare System.
  • An expert panel utilized the Master List of Nursing Informatics Competencies (Staggers et al., 2002).
  • Competencies were evaluated based on the Four Levels of Practice, focusing on Level 2 (experienced nurse).

Main Results:

  • A total of 49 core informatics competencies were selected as appropriate for generic nurse manager positions.
  • The study identified Level 2 experienced nurse competencies as most suitable for this role.
  • The selected competencies provide a focused list for nurse manager informatics development.

Conclusions:

  • This research successfully generated a job-specific list of informatics competencies for nurse managers.
  • The findings support the need for specialized competencies in nursing informatics roles.
  • Future work should focus on creating tools for competency development and evaluation for nurse managers.
