Relationship of nurses' assessment of organizational culture, job satisfaction, and patient satisfaction with nursing care.

This exploratory study investigated the relationship among staff nurses' assessment of organizational culture, job satisfaction, inpatient satisfaction with information about home care and follow-up, and general inpatient satisfaction with nursing care. A conceptual path model was tested using a secondary data analysis research design. Staff nurses and inpatients were sampled from inpatient units. The unit of analysis was patient care units. Pearson correlation and regression analyses were used. We found that strength of organizational culture predicted job satisfaction well and positively; job satisfaction predicted inpatient satisfaction significantly and positively; and inpatient satisfaction predicted general inpatient satisfaction well and positively. Methodological challenges of this study are discussed.

Determining nursing faculty development needs.

Although faculty members often come to a university school of nursing with little or no experience in teaching, research, or other forms of scholarship, few schools of nursing have a comprehensive, formalized faculty development program. In considering the need to find and retain the best faculty in this competitive market, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing appointed a task force to develop a formal faculty development program for the School. After reviewing the literature and contacting 24 schools of nursing, the task force concluded that most do not offer a systematic approach to faculty development. The task force developed and distributed a needs assessment and received responses from 53% of the faculty. Based on the needs assessment the task force made eight recommendations to the faculty for an ongoing, comprehensive faculty development program.

The canaries in the coal mine speak: why someone should (and should not) become a nurse.

Nurses in acute care hospitals are like the canaries used to test for lethal gases in mines--if they remain, the conditions must not be extreme. Staff nurses from 8 states responded to a questionnaire giving reasons why someone should and should not be a nurse. The almost 700 nurses responding reported that many of the reasons one should be a nurse are also the reasons one should not be one (eg, pay/benefits, respect for nursing). Extrinsic factors dominated the reasons to be a nurse, with both intrinsic and extrinsic factors being the reasons not to do so.

Preventing violence in an academic setting: one school of nursing's approach.

Workplace violence occurs in many different contexts, including academic settings. However, the types of violence that make headlines are less common than the everyday behaviors that, left unchecked, may lead to extreme situations. This article describes how a school of nursing developed a program of workplace violence prevention, intervention, and response. Descriptions of the program, definitions, and workplace violence resources are included.
