Should two senior cancer-nursing posts be integrated as one leadership function?

Uncertainty exists regarding the roles of the nurse consultant in cancer and palliative care and the lead cancer nurse. This article argues that there are advantages in combining the two posts. The discussion draws on relevant literature and argues that both posts have the same outcomes, which are achieved through different means and approaches to the delivery of cancer services. In order to make the combined post work within a trust, a particular support and structure is required. There may be a greater potential for cancer nursing because the leadership role combines the strategic perspective of the lead cancer nurse with the nurse consultant's focus on practice development and the professional development of staff.

Give your employees a pat on the back.

How does your medical group recognize the long-term service of its employees? Realizing that many of its employees had been under continuous employment for as many as 30 years, the Falls Clinic Professional Association developed a recognition program to honor that faithful service. Employees and physicians were involved in development of the program from many phases--a logo contest was held as an approach to developing a symbol that could be associated with the group and used for the awards. Presentation of the awards has become a tradition that this group eagerly anticipates and is proud to support.

Nurse practice centers and faculty job satisfaction.

This descriptive, correlational study describes academically-based nurse practice centers and the associated job satisfaction of nurse faculty members. The theoretical framework selected for the research was general systems theory. The Boettcher Nursing Center Inventory (BNCI) was developed for the study to identify characteristics of these centers. The Brayfield Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (BJSQ) was used to determine levels of job satisfaction. Thirty-two centers in 25 states and 124 nursing faculty members participated in the study. Findings reveal that academically-based nursing centers are offering a wide range of nursing care to clients throughout the life span in a variety of settings. Forces stimulating continued nursing center development are opportunities for clinical practice, student learning, public service, professional development, research, income generation, and professional development. High levels of job satisfaction were indicated by BJSQ mean score of 70.83 (maximum score, 90). Significant correlations were found between job satisfaction and the budget (p less than or equal to .007): when the budget increased, the level of job satisfaction decreased.

Process guides for nutrition care in community health.

The process of nutrition care is central to the clinical management of the public health client. However, this care is not often provided by the public health nurse. Thus, process guides that describe the techniques and strategies for providing nutrition care are important components of continuing education for those health professionals. This article presents one format for the development and presentation of such guides. Procedures for implementing the guides in public health practice are also described.

Therapeutic touch: an extension of professional skills.

Therapeutic touch, developed 25 years ago by Dolores Krieger, RN, PhD, and Dora Kunz, continues to gain ever wider acceptance in the health care field for one reason--it works. In our high-tech dialysis world of invasive, often painful procedures, therapeutic touch offers a welcome reprieve for patients and staff alike. For patients it has decreased restlessness, anxiety, fear and the pain from cannulations and central venous catheter insertions. Besides helping the recipients, therapeutic touch also affects the practitioners, with most practitioners reporting a greater sense of calm and well-being, in addition to the personal satisfaction of being able to offer a treatment that brings such relief to stressed-out patients. This article will introduce therapeutic touch and its use in the clinical setting.
