Dr. Joubert and colleagues, the study of leadership has developed, giving forth new theories and structures that explore the description of what it means to be a leader, and how to carry out the same effect. It would be pragmatic to note that one is not made a leader by a job title but through practical impact in. The situational theory is one such theory that can be effective in the medical field. This theory, often referred to as the Hersey-Blanchard situational leadership theory, suggests that no single leadership theory style is the best. However, Researchers and developers of leadership theories have not agreed on the leadership theories (Duggan et al., 2015).

Nursing leadership is a multidimensional concept. The nursing profession involves role model leaders that can transform their environment and leading their teams to succeed by overcoming obstacles. Situational leadership requires the leader to transform their leadership style to meet the followers’ leadership needs (Marshall & Broome, 2017). Developing a single satisfying leadership theory has become problematic due to these phenomena. Leadership style has a direct impact on the quality of care administered by the nurse team. The leadership style defines the quality of the relationship between the leader and the followers and sets the tone and mood of the work environment (Laureate Education, 2018).

Our director of nursing practice a contingency leadership style. Aware of the different dispositions on our team, she treats each nurse based on their abilities and needs. At times, she exercises Laissez-fair leadership, dictatorial, transformational, democratic, and other transformational styles. I was amazed by the approach. It helped to manage the team. For instance, the recalcitrant nurse received warnings, punishment for mistakes, and reward for an excellent performance. These restrained her actions and caused her to develop positive behaviors and care towards patients.

In Addition to the application of situational leadership style, she had leadership characteristics such as charisma, honesty, communication skills, creativity, innovativeness, decision-making, and integrity. Combination of the style and the qualities facilitated leading our team initiatives. to create a leader that we were all revered. According to Calderon-Mafud and Pando-Moreno (2018), organizations experience cultures of flexibility, social support, innovation, an also increased personal confidence, and openness to change. Furthermore, the implementation of an authentic leadership style mostly behaved as a middleman in the organization as it increased work productivity, helped implement staff engagement, and improving job satisfaction.

Nursing directors assume a fundamental role in emergency clinic management. This includes encouraging consideration, guaranteeing patient wellbeing, upgrading the nature of the work-life of nurses, and advocating change measures that serve these goals (Waite & Brooks, 2014). This allows supervisors to engage with their nurses and play out their commitments, utilizing best practices. They, additionally, expect supervisors to guarantee the staffing nurses’ responsibility by methods for giving an ideal workplace while keeping an elevated level of value care and patient security.

The connection between leadership styles and staff impression of their strengthening is significant for nursing directors and leaders, so as to make a workplace that empowers and encourages an elevated level of responsibility among the nursing staff (Masood & Afsar, 2017). This is especially significant, particularly in the wake of the current difficulties confronting healthcare frameworks corresponding to the deficiencies of health professionals, particularly among the nursing profession.

The health professional directors are seen by nurses to display a few components of transformational leadership practices (Boamah et al., 2018). Hence, nurse directors will usually concentrate on nurse consistency and errand fruition, accentuate tasks, work norms, and undertaking focused objectives, and rely more upon authoritative disciplines and awards to impact nurses’ activity. Thus, this should build the self-assurance of nurses in playing out their work and building up their capabilities. Nurse leaders should be prepared to show nurses how to consider difficulties to be an opportunity for enhancements and to urge them to recognize and test new techniques and perspectives on settling old issues and to esteem novel and various points of view.

Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.

To Prepare:

• Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.
• Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.

The Assignment: (8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation)

Develop a 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:

• Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
• Describe the board for your specific region/area.
  • Who is on the board?
  • How does one become a member of the board?
• Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.
  • How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
  • How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?
• Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).

In a 1- to 2-page paper, address the following:

On my unit and in my organization, patient falls are a common and unfortunate nursing practice problem.  In the hospital setting, 9%-15% of falls result in injury and even death and are considered one the costliest preventable health conditions.  One fall with injury can total additional hospital costs of 17,500 dollars and an additional six day stay (Votruba et al., 2016).  The reality is however, that most falls are preventable.  As one of our nursing corporate objectives this year we have committed to reducing falls with injury.  For this week’s assignment, I have chosen fall intervention to improve patient outcomes. 

            First, I developed a PICO question.  In the adult inpatient unit what is the effectiveness of hourly rounding verses and individualized fall assessment to decrease falls with injury?

P – Adult inpatient unit

                        I – Purposeful hourly rounding

                        C – Individualized fall assessment

                        O – Decrease falls with injury

            Utilizing this search criteria in the CINAHL database, I found a peer reviewed article from 2019. Individualized Fall Prevention Program in an Acute Care Setting: An Evidence-Based Practice Improvement was authored by several advanced degree nurses from Northern Westchester Hospital, Mount Kisco, New York.  As per the title, you can see that the targeted audience was those practitioners who are experiencing falls in an acute care setting.  There are 12 references associated with this particular article and although some appear to be outside the 5-year window for relevant scholarly resources, fall interventions have remained fairly consistent over the years.  They appear reputable and when you review the link associated with each of the references, they are also noted to have been peer reviewed.

            This study showed a significant fall reduction impact by implementation of a multidisciplinary approach along with a video monitoring component.  As a member of the charter falls committee in my organization, I will definitely be presenting this to the group at our next meeting.

I need a comment for this post. Please use at least two sources no later than 5 years and 2 paragraphs.
