Concepts of Nurse as Leader/Manager

Leadership Presentation

As nurses we frequently come across areas we feel could be improved upon or have ideas that we believe would better the profession in some way. For this assignment you will create a Power

Point Presentation outlining what your ideas or suggestions are, how they will improve an aspect of nursing and procedure for implementing them. Nursing, as with the medical field as a whole, is forever changing and evolving with technological advances and developments. Since nurses are on the front lines dealing with patients, doctors and procedures on a daily basis, they are dynamically positioned to make effective and educated suggestions. Developing your comfort level in doing so can increase your confidence and leadership ability in making these suggestions on the job.

 

You each will select a topic and a specific problem within that topic to focus on. (Example:

General topic “Incivility in the workplace” specific problem “impact of workplace incivility on newly graduated RNs”. Focus should be narrow in order limit length of presentation and amount of literature review. This presentation should be no more than 15 slides including liv review slides references. This is not a difficult assignment however it takes some time to research the material. There are many valuable online resources you can use as well as numerous resources within the University library.

 

Presentation Content:

1. Description of the problem and leadership issue as it relates to nursing and/or health care.

• Clearly define the problem.
• Is there evidence of this problem in our local area?
• Problems can be any areas that need changing or improvement. Remember topics must be approved no later than due date announced by course coordinator.

2. Literature review slides (

• Your presentation should include a literature review of at least 3 recent research articles. The lit review is a part of the presentation (at least 3 slides) and not a separate paper.
• Use the Literature Review Presentation as a guide for your literature review. This process will take time. A good literature review consists of all the literature related to your topic. It is definitely more than 2-3 articles. Make sure that all articles used in the presentation are listed on your Reference page.

• Provide evidence supporting:
  • Why is this a problem for nursing?
  • What are the effects of this problem on nursing, patients or health care in general?
  • What has been done about the problem in the past?
  • Was it effective in addressing the problem?

3. Leadership roles

• Identify and explore/discuss leadership and management functions to the topic.
• What is the role of leadership in addressing and resolving the issue?

4. Change Process

• What can realistically/practically be done to address the issue? What interventions are effective in addressing the issue and can they be implemented reasonably?
• Choose one and describe one evidenced based intervention that you want to implement.
• How do you propose to implement the change?
• Identify and explore/discuss ways to evaluate the change process as well as ways to maintain the change over time.

5. Scholarly Writing and Presentation

Record voice over slides. This can be done in PowerPoint and then upload the presentation to the assignment box. Think in terms of one minute of discussion per slide (some will be longer, some shorter).

• Presentation will be Voiceover PPT.
• Presentation is well written, grammar, spelling, punctuation are correct.
• Predominant use of a minimum of 3 primary sources and recent (5 years) journals.
