Abstract:
Licensed practical/vocational nurses (LVNs) play an important role in U.S. nursing homes, with primary responsibility for supervising unlicensed nursing home staff. Research has shown that the relationship between charge nurses and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) has a significant impact on CNA job satisfaction and turnover as well as quality of care, yet nurses rarely receive supervisory training. The purpose of this project was to develop, pilot, and evaluate a leadership/supervisory training program for LVNs. Upon completion of the training program, many LVNs expressed and demonstrated a new understanding of their supervisory leadership and supervisory responsibilities. Directors of staff development are a potential vehicle for supporting LVNs' development as supervisors.
