The first question of the interview was who is in charge of picking the team in this nursing facility? According to Mr. Stofer, management is in charge of picking the team. In this case it would be the administrator. The team is anyone who has the patient’s best interest at heart. As far as the morning meetings are concerned the team is anyone who is head of the departments here in the facility. The team can start from activity personnel to the administrator (Stofer, Administrator 5/2018).

| “The top 10 features of an effective team are: * clear purpose; * open communication; * constructive conflict; * effective problem-solving and decision making; * defined roles, responsibilities and accountability; * strong relationships; * systems and procedures; * experimentation and creativity; * measurement and self-assessment; * shared leadership.” For a team to be effective, they need to have clear

I work as CNA in a nursing home usually one or two days a week. We are three CNA that work under supervising a nurse. There are 22 people in the hall that we work in there. We have to work as team and corporate with each other to get jobs done on time. The important points that help the team reach the goal are, proper time management, following the nurse care plans and guide lines, considering the facility policies, cooperation and helping each other. There are too many challenges that we face in every minutes of our job. The challenges include: limited time, too many people and too many responsibilities, instability the patients mood, the severity of patient disease, failing one of the team member to do the responsibilities on time,

"Working as a team is so important. The job of nursing in a hospital is a huge team effort but it is understandable that there is a certain amount of independence, especially if you really prefer to be one-on-one with patients."

In another article, researchers Dickerson and Latina (2017) implemented a slightly different version of the team nursing model on a unit with similarities to the floor observed. The intervention took place on the floor called the Transitional Care Unit (TCU). The TCU is an 18-bed unit where each nurse is assigned to either two or three patients and provided care utilizing the total patient care model. The decision to trial team nursing was due to decreasing nurse job satisfaction, increasing patient acuity along with the hiring of many inexperienced nurses (Dickerson & Latina, 2017). In this version of team nursing, two nurses one experienced and one inexperienced, are paired together, and assigned from four to six patients. The charge nurse is then responsible for the pairing of nurses and assigning patients based on acuity to ensure a balanced patient load (Dickerson & Latina, 2017). The nurse pairs were now to take the report of all patients together and worked together to complete nursing tasks (Dickerson & Latina, 2017).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nurse staffing has an effect on teamwork. In order to make this determination, a cross-sectional study is used here. The methodology is quantitative, and uses a descriptive design. A sample of nursing staff that came from four different hospitals and 52 individual patient care units was utilized for this study, in order to obtain enough relevant data for the conclusions drawn by the researchers. The collection of data was done through The Nursing Teamwork Survey, so as to have a valid instrument for data collection procedures and practices. Perceived teamwork data, as well as actual data on nurse staffing, was collected for all of the hospitals and all of the units of patient care that participated in the study.

The ED Director, Administration, and Human Resources (HR) were extremely supportive, in addition, there were a few nurses who could comprehend the lack of alternatives and were quietly supportive. This was an extremely emotion and difficult process and the support of HR, the ED Director, and Administration could not have been more pivotal in the moving this project ahead.

For my fifth clinical shift at Loma Linda Veterans Affairs Medical Center, my assigned preceptor Filipina Gumangan assigned me two patients on the 4NW unit. The particular section of the unit where I precept is an intensive care step down unit. Filipina’s objective for giving me two patients this shift was to give me an opportunity to practice time management; this meant I was responsible for many clinical duties corresponding to the care of these patients. My patients this shift were Mr. C, a 62 year-old Vietnam War veteran newly diagnosed with acute kidney failure, and Mr. H, a 63 year-old Vietnam War veteran in the hospital to rule out appendicitis. Caring for these patients taught me more about the humanbecoming perspective of nursing and showed me about multidisciplinary coordination with peers, colleagues, and more.

A major concept that we have learned about in our nursing 182 class is Teamwork. In this concept analysis we will see the conceptualization of teamwork, and critical attributes, related concepts and various cases, and illegitimate uses of team work. Teamwork is essential in the nursing field and this analysis will show just how important it is.

Teamwork is huge on the labor and delivery and mother-baby unit at Northbay. It is one of the first things I noticed when I came onto the unit. Everyone works well with each other, and everyone knows each other’s patients. When the Mother and Baby unit is short staffed, the Labor and Delivery unit float to help with tasks or anything else that is needed. There is one place on the floor that I have experience great teamwork and collaboration, even at times of crisis (i.e.. crash cesarean section). With a big interdisciplinary team, the staff needs to effectively communicate to maintain mother and baby safety. During my first cesarean section I was mainly an observer. After the first one, I was able to be part of the team. I helped with the positioning of the patient during the placement of a spinal, inserting foley, securing the patient on the bed, so on and so forth. Most of the doctors are approachable and were eager to answer any and all of my

There are many significant reason why there have been numerous issues or complaints in the field of nursing over the past several years. The issue that has been more common over the years is what I would considered to be the most important issue that nurses have to put up with on a regular bases is what effects does the working environment have on nurses that work in the environment they either have to conform to or find a way to put a stop to the issues the working environment has caused. There are positive and negative aspects that effect the working environment in the nursing field, because of the many things that coincide with what goes on in the working environment that is not seen by non-staff members. Among these complaints have been

The tense barriers between myself and the patients descended, as did the ones between my teammates and I, working as a united team for the first time in weeks. Despite a grueling work day controlling the crowd, triaging patients, and processing pharmaceutical prescriptions, our toughest obstacle yet served to bring us together more than ever. My own misconceptions of competition trumping teamwork were brought down and the value in sharing a common struggle was further supported as my friends and I walked to our shack for the night, cheerfully talking as

The opportunity to inspire or encourage an individual is vital and should not be taken lightly. The success of a team requires passion, desire and the ability to adapt to change from each individual. As a combined whole, each person contribute to the vision or goal adopted by any organization. NJ recommends to the novice nurse to perform each function with excellence without excuses (NJ, personal communication, 2016). Yes, common errors may occur, however when performing a task or following the guidelines set by any organization, the individual will be successful. In addition, collaborating with each other gives the opportunity for the group to acknowledge and respect other views in the caring of patients.

Teamwork and collaboration in nursing can be defined as the development of partnerships to achieve best possible outcomes that reflect the particular needs of the patient, family, or community, requiring an understanding of what others have to offer. (Giddens & Liesveld, 2013). This means that nurses are constantly working as a team to provide the best care for their patients. Working as part of a team may include listening to the client, getting help from another nurse to verify dosage calculations or working alongside the doctor to carefully facilitate their orders. I don’t believe any one nurse would be effective if they were working by themselves. The profession alone is demanding and one nurse working by themselves to assist the needs of more than one patient at a time would be dangerous.

Travel is much more accessible to the commonwealth in the 21st century than it was in the past. According to Jeff Chu in his article for Time magazine, entitled, The Roads Now Taken, journey is one that will “test [your] limits and nourish [your] soul”. (Chu) The luxury of traveling is something that many may consider to be relaxing and fun; something that people sometimes take for granted. These destinations in the Netherlands are venues that offer opportunities to learn about the cultural identity of the country as well as provide insight to the its history and how it has shaped the society and lifestyle in which the Dutch experience. This paper will describe an adventure in Amsterdam that will test my limits
