Implementing and evaluating an attending nurse model
Abstract:
The role of "Attending Nurse" responds to the need for a cost-effective role for experienced clinical nurses which provides increased autonomy and job satisfaction. Using Lewin's Theory of Change, a task force at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital implemented a project in the Adolescent Developmental Disabilities Unit. Response was very positive both from nursing personnel and the multidisciplinary team, all of whom were involved in planning, implementation and evaluation. For Attending Nurses, overall job satisfaction improved, role conflict decreased and retention increased.
