Change Theory in Nursing Management
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing implementing changes that can assist in integrating theory into practice. Theory-based nursing practice is the focus of much current nursing research and practice, but established, experienced nurses may be less familiar with theory than are new graduates. It is common practice for older nurses to mentor newer ones; new graduates fresh from study of theory also have the opportunity to teach as well. Lewin’s change theory maintains that change is incremental and proceeds stepwise. The organization can assist this progression by hiring new graduates with solid knowledge of theory, which they can pass on to those more experienced in practice. Includes abstract. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Changes in the US Health Care System and Nurses’ Roles
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the state of several aspects of the US health care system and nurses’ roles within both the current system and that which continues to emerge. One of the primary qualities of US health care today is that it is in flux. It has been changing dramatically since the advent of managed care; continued budgetary pressures and the ongoing shortage of nurses dictate that further changes are made in the future. Nursing itself is changing as well, as those who have made nursing their life profession approach retirement age themselves. Those new to health care now face higher career demands than those who went before them. The new generation of nurses will need to be even more adaptable to change and more conversant with technology as it continues to change the face of health care. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Clinical Journal Summary
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper giving an account of the activities resulting in completion of the aggregate survey tool and assessment. The effort began on July 18, 2002, ending on August 1. The purpose of these activities was to identify and assess an aggregate of individuals over the age of 65 who also have heart disease, investing at least sixteen clinical hours in the effort. The paper discusses the activities, then compares aggregate-based assessment to working with individuals and their families. It concludes that the aggregate approach avoids the complexity of individuals as larger "systems," allowing the nurse to focus first on one small component and then apply the findings to the "system" of the individual.
