  • Exploring the lived experience of male nurses in the pursuit of leadership roles: A phenomenological approach

    ProQuest

    Currently the nursing workforce in Canada is predominately female and men entering the profession face a variety of myths, stereotypes and barriers that affect their ability to progress into leadership roles. A deeper understanding of the experiences of men who have successfully moved into leadership or administrative roles is needed if greater gender diversity is going to be achieved. This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of male registered nurses who chose to pursue…

    Currently the nursing workforce in Canada is predominately female and men entering the profession face a variety of myths, stereotypes and barriers that affect their ability to progress into leadership roles. A deeper understanding of the experiences of men who have successfully moved into leadership or administrative roles is needed if greater gender diversity is going to be achieved. This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of male registered nurses who chose to pursue leadership roles within the nursing profession. Another aim was to investigate whether male nurses ride a glass escalator to the top or experience a glass ceiling phenomena within the context of their career progression.

  • Ethical leadership

    Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

    In today's climate and environment, the conventional relationship between caring, economic, and administrative practices no longer serves the interest of patients, clinicians, or systems. A shift toward human caring values and an ethic of authentic healing relationships is required as systems now have to value human resources and life purposes, inner meaning, and processes for providers and patients alike. The costs of unethical behavior can be even greater for followers. When we assume the…

    In today's climate and environment, the conventional relationship between caring, economic, and administrative practices no longer serves the interest of patients, clinicians, or systems. A shift toward human caring values and an ethic of authentic healing relationships is required as systems now have to value human resources and life purposes, inner meaning, and processes for providers and patients alike. The costs of unethical behavior can be even greater for followers. When we assume the benefits of leadership, we also assume ethical burdens. It is the assertion and experience of the author that the triangle of ethics and ethical behavior, followers, and patient's outcomes are closely interrelated and affect each other in a very intimate and direct way. Unethical leadership may lead to follower disappointment and distrust, leading to lack of interest and commitment, consequently negatively impacting patient outcomes and organizational effectiveness.

  • Leading in Complex Organizations – do you have the Courage?

    National Health Leadership Conference

    Today’s healthcare environment is facing unprecedented organizational change and complexity. Senior leaders focus their attention on the patient experience, quality of care delivered, health human resources, bottom line results, cost reductions, information technology, and environmental issues, to name a few areas of concern. The pressures our senior leaders are under are immense. Whole-life issues abound. As a senior leader one must deal with the erosion of public trust, the loss of…

    Today’s healthcare environment is facing unprecedented organizational change and complexity. Senior leaders focus their attention on the patient experience, quality of care delivered, health human resources, bottom line results, cost reductions, information technology, and environmental issues, to name a few areas of concern. The pressures our senior leaders are under are immense. Whole-life issues abound. As a senior leader one must deal with the erosion of public trust, the loss of valuable intellectual capital, erosion of employee satisfaction and doing more with less. If this is not enough, they are expected to be proactive in developing their abilities and to recognize the importance of developing the people around them. If you are one of the millions of busy and over extended health care leaders dealing with everyday demands and little time to improve your own leadership competencies, then you need a personal “Coach”.

  • Maximizing The Scope of Practice of RPNs in The Community

    Nursing Leadership Network of Ontario (NLN.ON)

    Title: Maximizing Scope of Practice among Nurses: Leveraging best practices to support role change.

    The continuous evolution of the health care system creates unique opportunities for change leading to progress and innovation.

    Title: Maximizing Scope of Practice among Nurses: Leveraging best practices to support role change.

    The continuous evolution of the health care system creates unique opportunities for change leading to progress and innovation. Nevertheless, ensuring that the right nursing provider is delivering care and service based on the needs of the client within the context of the practice environment is a struggle for most community provider organizations. The focus of this presentation is to share an innovative, collaborative approach to leading practice change and optimizing scope of practice within a specific community care organization, the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON). It will focus on the conference theme of “Connections with People” as we describe our journey through this project.

    VON Canada, Central Region is embarking on a Maximizing Nursing Scope of Practice Project in several of its Ontario sites. The goal of this project is to engage nurses in implementing practice changes that influence quality care and quality of work life. The work of this project is supported and guided by the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) Healthy Work Environment Best Practice Guideline “Collaborative Practice Among Nursing Teams” and the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Practice Guideline “Utilization of RNs and RPNs” and the tenants of the CNO’s 3 Factor Framework. The project includes very deliberate and practical steps that respect the local nursing culture of the sites and the sensitivity that comes with talking about scope of practice and work redesign.

    Implementation practice changes must consider, but not limited to, the following challenges: Geographical area, practice isolation, autonomy, limited “just in time” support at the point of care and decentralized planning and scheduling elements and processes. All of these will influence the implementation approach, as well as the successful adoption of new roles and functions.

  • Poverty and Health from the Health System Perspective

    Israeli Journal of Emergency medicine

    Poverty undermines a wide range of human capabilities, possibilities and opportunities. Poverty interacts
    with health in a myriad of ways, such as being able to attend school, earn a living, and be socially
    connected, for example, all of which require at least a modicum of good health. The aim of this paper is to
    explore the complex mutual inter-relationship of poverty and health in terms of place of residence, minority
    status, socioeconomic status and local and national…

    Poverty undermines a wide range of human capabilities, possibilities and opportunities. Poverty interacts
    with health in a myriad of ways, such as being able to attend school, earn a living, and be socially
    connected, for example, all of which require at least a modicum of good health. The aim of this paper is to
    explore the complex mutual inter-relationship of poverty and health in terms of place of residence, minority
    status, socioeconomic status and local and national governments. We also address the implications of this
    relationship worldwide, and the common and systemic trends and multiplicity of factors it involves. Some
    solutions and interventions to disrupt the vicious cycle of poverty and poor health are suggested.
