Nurse practitioners: reevaluation of the need for and willingness to hire by nurse administrators, nurse practitioners, and physicians.

A survey of all nurse administrators and advanced practice nurses and a simple random sample survey of licensed physicians in Nevada were completed to reevaluate the perceived need for and willingness to hire nurse practitioners (NPs). The reevaluation was deemed necessary based on a similar survey that was completed by these authors in 1990. At that time significant questions were raised concerning the lack of understanding of the role of NPs in and their contribution to the health care team. The results of the study clearly indicate that the unique contributions of the NP to the health care team should be further publicized and clarified. In addition, for some physicians, a significant disparity continues to exist between the optimal, collaborative role and the more readily accepted dependent role of the NP. The family NP (FNP) continues to be the most desired specialty for those who hire NPs.

Nurse practitioners: need for and willingness to hire as viewed by nurse administrators, nurse practitioners, and physicians.

The problem investigated in this project was the identification of need for and desire to hire nurse practitioners in a rural western state. Participants included licensed nurse practitioners, nurse administrators of licensed agencies, and licensed physicians in the state of Nevada. The survey examined the participant groups' views of the need for and their desire to hire nurse practitioners. The findings showed differences among the groups in relation to their education levels and whether they were practicing in rural or urban areas. The most pronounced finding was the indicated need for more information related to the role and functions of nurse practitioners before hiring them. Recommendations for future study are also included.

[Interpersonal relations in nursing administration].

Nursing administration is a social process. It fulfils its ultimate purpose of caring for people's health within an interpersonal climate, a complex network of communications of various forms and directions. And it is true that the interpersonal problems are the most serious inhibitors in effective nursing administration. To achieve excellence in any administrative post, the nurse must have a mature integral personality and highly developed communication, collaboration and leadership skills.

How a better understanding of transformational leadership can help improve your practice as a nurse administrator.

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.

A theory development role for nurse administrators.

Nurse administrators can formulate useful theories while solving the complex problems of practice. An awareness of the mental perspective that frames one's thoughts about experiences can aid in theory development. Examples are developed to illustrate how different mental perspectives lead to different theories, decisions, and outcomes. It is argued that a system perspective, when used as an aid for conceptualizing experiences, will assist nursing administrators in developing theories that address their comprehensive sphere of activity and influence.

Changing roles in nursing. Perceptions of nurse administrators.

Nursing roles and administrative responsibilities have changed over the past 10 years. Although nurses' choices in graduate educational programs have been documented by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the National League for Nursing, little empirical data exist related to specific role changes. The purpose of this study was to describe current responsibilities of nurse administrators and their perceptions regarding role changes in their organizations. This study also identified educational recommendations of nurse administrators for nurses pursuing graduate degrees with implications and recommendations for nurse leaders.

The professional practice of nursing administration. Integrated nursing practice.

The role of the nurse executive is dynamic, requiring a high degree of leadership skill and managerial competence linked with clinical nursing knowledge and research. Preparation for the role requires an integrated curriculum in nursing administration and life span leadership development. Recognition of the professional level of differentiated practice as nursing administration is essential if professional nursing is to remain vital in the 21st century. Transformed schools should be named schools of nursing administration, and the new product should be the nurse executive who has the ability to function in a wide variety of settings on earth and in space.

[Professional bureaucracy as an organization of design in nursing administration].

Nursing, a profession, continues its efforts toward professionalization. Attention to efficiency and effectiveness of its organizational system must be balances with that of maintaining quality of care. The wise use of personnel is of particular concern. The structure of nursing's administrative organization is very important, because most nursing services are delivered through an organization. Professional bureaucracy is recommended for the structure and managerial strategy of nursing's administrative organization. Specifically, considerable decision-making in their work should be transferred to the staff nurses who provide professional nursing services in direct interaction with the public. The coordinative parameters of the system should be based on professional nursing knowledge. The premise required by this commitment would be built on the identification of nursing knowledge and intellectual and behavioral standard of nursing practice.

[Teaching staff, student, and performance evaluation in nursing administration at nursing schools in Brazil].

The objective of this study was to analyze the theoretical references related to the performance evaluation process, establishing their correlation to different pedagogical lines. These references constitute the foundation for the analysis of data being collected and studied. This study is part of a broader project, currently in progress, whose objective is to determine how to evaluate teachers, students and achievement in courses dealing with content related to Nursing Administration at the graduate and undergraduate levels in Brazil. We hope to be contributing to a clearer and better understanding of this concrete reality, and of the performance evaluation process in light of the changes in the teaching of such courses.
