Nurse Leaders Continuing the Work and Conversations on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Abilities
The nursing profession is at a pivotal place in its history, in the United States and the world. The nursing profession is being asked to address diversity, equity, inclusion, and abilities in a meaningful way. Societal forces coupled with the report by the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing are requiring action to address organizational spaces and work environments. In a survey conducted by the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing, 70% of black nurses said they experienced racism at the hands of a leader. (Source: Nurse Leader)

Building a Dynamic, Flexible Nursing Workforce: The Jefferson S.E.A.L. RN Team
The challenges of nurse staffing are created by many forces. In order to promote and maintain a stable nursing workforce, organizations must be dynamic and progressive in their intention by establishing teams that are flexible in their assignments. This flexibility is beneficial for patients, the nurse, and the organization —patients receive care from permanent staff, nurses are empowered with more work options, and leaders are able to align staffing resources where they are needed most. The Jefferson Health S.E.A.L. (Source: Nurse Leader)

Decreasing the Nursing Documentation Burden During the Covid-19 Surge
During the Covid-19 pandemic, nurses requested a clean, streamlined, intuitive view of the adult nursing assessment(s) within the electronic medical record (EMR). We created a more efficient method during a national disaster to reduce duplicative efforts and allow additional time with patients. This project was added as part of the Clinically Led EMR Optimization (CLEO) strategy to eliminate unnecessary EMR assessment data elements in the adult medical-surgical and critical care areas. This was completed in a 5-month period and decreased 20% of the data points entered by nursing. (Source: Nurse Leader)

From the Bedside to the Boardroom
Nurse leaders have a complex role in patient and staff outcomes. Nurses graduate from nursing schools clinically proficient but may lack leadership and team-building skills. This may lead to an imbalance in the executive suite and result in nurse leaders developing imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome can occur at times of career transition, and emerging nurse leaders may be particularly affected. Education focused on topics such as peer-mentoring, reflection, and identification of attributes can help combat feelings associated with imposter syndrome and increase authentic leadership capabilities in nurse leaders.

The Nurse Manager Role of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: A Qualitative Study in an Academic Health System
COVID-19 has presented health care providers, including nurse managers (NMs), with unprecedented challenges. The purpose of this study was to explore the perception of the future NM role in an academic health system peripandemic and identify variability in levels of experience. This was a qualitative phenomenological multisite study. The study did show that regardless of the level of experience, opportunity and resources are needed for leadership development, innovative communication strategies, contemporary business acumen, and workforce wellness techniques.

Moving Away from Primary Nursing Care
Experienced writers know how hard it can be to “kill your darlings.” In writing, you kill your darlings when you decide to get rid of an unnecessary storyline, character, or sentence in a piece of creative writing—elements you may have worked hard to create but that must be removed for the sake of your overall story. It serves as a good me taphor for trying to redesign nursing care delivery models in health systems today. Most health systems still use a primary nursing care delivery system. The challenge is that delivering care this way has become unsustainable in most care settings, especially outside of obstetrics,...

Robotic Support of Nursing Care
It will be unimaginable to practice without the help of robots in the future. There will be downtime procedures for robots. Current robot technology is on the verge of becoming part of care processes but not yet a disrupting force. Leaders should not underestimate the potential for robotics to revolutionize care. In the future, beyond any of our careers, robotics could pose an existential threat to nursing, potentially reducing nurses to the role of technicians, with the pressures of efficiency and evolving priorities.

The Chief Nursing Officer Shared Leadership Model
We highlight the design, implementation, benefits, and challenges of an innovative shared nursing leadership model at the chief nursing officer (CNO) level. At St. John's Health, a 48-bed rural hospital in the Mountain West, 3 qualified, experienced clinical nursing directors were recruited to fill the CNO position. During the first 6 months, the CNOs solidified their leadership and communication styles, negotiated salary and benefits, transitioned into strategic thinking, became members of the administrative team, and maintained their specialty clinical directorships.

This Is Not Where I Was Supposed to Be: Journey From a CNO
Once again, it is a typical Friday evening in January, and I am feverishly working to complete leader evaluations. Finally, it was time to say goodnight, and I walked out of my office toward my car, heading for what I hoped would be a restful weekend and not knowing I was about to be transported to a new experience. After 4 and a half months of visits to a specialist with unexplained diarrhea, perhaps I was about to receive an answer and treatment for my challenge. As I tried to keep busy, not focusing on how I was feeling, I contemplated my plans. (Source: Nurse Leader)

Self-care Laddering: A New Program to Encourage Exemplary Self-care
