Question
Discuss the responsibilities each nurse would have in transitioning two nurses to staff a new infusion center for a small community hospital and identify the appropriate functions.
Both nurses were long-term employees; one was from the medical-surgical float pool, and the other was the bed coordinator whose position was eliminated because of budget reductions. Ideally, the assistant vice president with oversight for this area will map out in writing (1) the goals of the new infusion program, (2) the activities essential for implementation goals, and (3) a schedule for accomplishing them. The nurse manager and the clinical educator agree to check in with each other daily, as well as to meet weekly for a more formal review of the team's progress. Part of this plan includes the option to alter the plan based on unexpected changes. The two nurses will begin the position in 4 weeks and put the prearranged outline of activities into action.
What would be the nurse manager's responsibility in implementing this change?
What would be the clinical educator's responsibility of implementing this change?
How could unexpected occurrences, such as the nurse manager extending her medical leave of absence by a few days, require modifying the goal, activities, or time frame of the project (dynamic quality of process)?
What feedback from the nurse manager, the clinical educator, and the two nurses transitioning would be important in guiding the overall process?
