Enhancing a professional environment in the organized delivery system: Lessons in building trust for the Nurse Administrator
Nursing Administration Quarterly, 2002Co-Authors: Robin Newhouse, Mary Etta MillsAbstract:Objective: To examine the level of system integration and determine if a relationship exists between the level of nursing development and system integration. Data Source/Study Setting: Primary data was collected from Nurse Administrators in Maryland acute care hospitals in December 1999. Study Design: A survey of Maryland Nurse Administrators was conducted utilizing three tools. The Perceived Systemness and Integration Measure was used to measure the level of integration within the system or network. The level of professional practice development was measured utilizing a Likert-scale tool designed by the researchers based on the Transformational Model for Professional Practice in Health Care Organizations. A narrative response questionnaire was included to determine mechanisms in place to promote professional practice and clinical integration. Findings: The level of system integration was moderate in all domains: Functional (3.35), Physician-System (2.88), and Clinical (3.14). Significant correlations were found between Transformational Leadership and Culture (.539, p

Nurse-computer performance. Considerations for the Nurse Administrator.
The Journal of nursing administration, 1994Co-Authors: Mary Etta Mills, Nancy StaggersAbstract:Regulatory reporting requirements and economic pressures to create a unified healthcare database are leading to the development of a fully computerized patient record. Nursing staff members will be responsible increasingly for using this technology, yet little is known about the interaction effect of staff characteristics and computer screen design on on-line accuracy and speed. In examining these issues, new considerations are raised for Nurse Administrators interested in facilitating staff use of clinical information systems.

how a better understanding of adult learning can help improve your practice as a Nurse Administrator
Canadian journal of nursing administration, 1995Co-Authors: J M SkeltongreenAbstract:Theorists tell us that we are smack in the middle of the information age. We cannot help but realize that knowledge is expanding exponentially. The challenge for us as Nurses and as Nurse leaders is to "keep up", and to do so in a manner which is both efficient and effective. The education of Nurses (both basic and ongoing) has historically operated in the pedagogical mode. Nurse learners were expected to be ready and willing to "absorb" whatever the teacher gave out. They were not to demonstrate too much initiative, nor were they held responsible for what or how they learned. Their nursing experience (even when that experience was significant) counted for little. Furthermore, individual Nurses have rarely been afforded the opportunity to examine how they learn. Nor have Nurse leaders taken into consideration their protegees' preferred learning styles. As a profession, we are very slow to accept and utilize modern principles and practices of learning--principles and practices which we desperately need to cope with the challenges of the information explosion! In undertaking this literature search, I chose to focus on theories of adult and organizational learning, and selected a variety of theories which I believe are timely and relevant to this task.

how a better understanding of transformational leadership can help improve your practice as a Nurse Administrator
Canadian journal of nursing administration, 1995Co-Authors: J M SkeltongreenAbstract:Nursing Administrators of today find themselves practising in an environment of permanent whitewater--an environment of chaotic change. Not only is the environment changing, so too are our employees: their needs, motives and priorities are vastly different than those we knew 20 years ago. The challenges of permanent whitewater cannot be overcome without effective leadership. Theorists agree that most North American organizations are currently overmanaged and underled. Certainly the leadership record of Canadian health care institutions has not been impressive. This paper will examine a selected set of concepts which the author believes are essential for nursing Administrators who wish to provide real leadership to their departments and organizations: transformational (as compared to transactional) leadership; feminine (as compared to masculine) leadership; and empowerment. The literature review draws out both theory and practical applications.

In this way, the environment for nursing practice can reflect caring at all levels in the organization.
