Planning Nursing Care I

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Area of Science:

Nursing Leadership
Cardiology Advanced Practice
Healthcare Team Management

Background:

Cardiology Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) teams established in 1998 have experienced persistent retention difficulties.
A leadership project was initiated to address these ongoing issues within the APN team.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop, implement, and evaluate strategies aimed at empowering the Cardiology APN team.
To promote the professional development of APN team members.
To ultimately improve the retention rates of Cardiology APN team members.

Main Methods:

A leadership project focused on creating and assessing initiatives for APN empowerment and professional growth.
The project was developed during participation in a Maternal-Child Health Leadership Academy (2008-2009).

Main Results:

Evaluation data indicated progress in addressing specific work environment issues affecting the team.
Despite improvements in the work environment, overall team member retention remains a significant challenge.

Conclusions:

Initiatives to empower and develop Cardiology APNs show promise in improving aspects of the work environment.
Retention of Cardiology Advanced Practice Nurses continues to be an area requiring further attention and intervention.
