A Nurse Leader Directed Violence Risk Assessment on Patient-to-nurse Violence
Healthcare workers are commonly the victims of workplace violence. Implementing a violence risk assessment can provide a consistent standard for evaluation of potential violence, minimizing the opportunity for misinterpretation. Reduction in events of violence can be cost-effective, enhance patient and staff safety, and improve patient outcomes. This project considers the correlation between performing a risk assessment upon admission to the acute care facility and the incidence of patient-to-nurse violence. (Source: Nurse Leader)

Perceived Impact of Affect Labeling and Social Sharing in Healthcare
Burnout and declining well-being among healthcare professionals is an ongoing concern.

Nurse Leaders Collaborate for Validation of the New Graduate Nurse Attributes Scale
Academic –practice partnerships provide busy nurse leaders the ability to pursue research endeavors they normally would not be able to. Nurse leaders partnered in the process of developing a new survey tool. The tool was validated in a local setting and successfully identified nurse leaders' desired attrib utes of new graduate nurses. The results can provide information to inform local nursing schools so they can better meet the needs of practice partners. Next steps for the tool are a national study to assess and compare larger groups of nurse leaders’ desired attributes for new graduate nurses. (Source: Nurse Leader)

The High Cost of Chief Nursing Officer Turnover
At the recent AONL conference, research was presented about chief nursing officer (CNO) turnover. Unsurprisingly, involuntary and voluntary turnover is closely linked to relationships with the chief executive officer (CEO).1 The “chemistry” between individuals in these 2 roles has been cited as being crucially important. In today’s environment, many CNOs have also anecdotally reported being held accountable for staffing costs that are often not in their control. There is lots of finger-pointing in the C-suite as healt h systems experience bond downgrades and financial challenges. (Source: Nurse Leader)
