As patients, families, and colleagues turn to social media to share their experiences in health care settings, some posts are celebrations and thanks, while others share concerns and disappointments. However, in some cases, social media posts/blogs/emails/patient portal posts are meant to humiliate, shame, blame, and/or harass. This is called cyberbullying which may lead to doxing. Cyberbullying and doxing are becoming more prevalent and affecting health care team members both at work and during their off hours, causing fear, anxiety, depression, and disengagement. In short, cyberbullying and doxing meet the definition of workplace violence.

Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) are pivotal members of the health care team who drive quality outcomes and best practices. Unfortunately, many organizations have vacant CNS positions due to a nationwide CNS shortage. The CNS Academy is a novel internship program launched at a large health care system to recruit nurses to pursue CNS education while providing hands-on experience as a CNS intern. This “grow your own” approach provides on-the-job opportunities to gain CNS competencies and ease role transition upon graduation. Patient, nurse, and system-level outcomes will be monitored to demonstrate the financial impact of adding CNS positions to the organization.

The nursing workforce consists of individuals from multiple generational cohorts and includes a dynamic mix of nurses who reflect the cultural and historical events that shaped their generation. As the Baby Boomer generation retires and younger generational cohorts fill their positions, Generation X and Millennials are a growing majority in the workforce, and the number of Generation Z nurses is steadily increasing. To recruit, retain, and lead teams with multigenerational members, nurse leaders need to understand the differences in attitudes toward work life and professional identity among generations and how to leverage their strengths to develop high performing teams.

Nurse managers’ academic training and post-employment resources for developing skills required to manage local staffing needs are under-reported. Using a qualitative descriptive design, we conducted surveys to assess nurse manager perceptions of existing staffing tools, access to tools, and knowledge of their department’s unit of service, labor standard, and budgeted nonproductive time. The purpose was to determine the specific gaps in nurse manager knowledge related to determining staffing needs. Of 33 nurse manager participants, the results indicate uncertainty, or inaccurate knowledge of departmental staffing variables.

The most recent American Association of Critical-Care Nurses National Nurse Work Environment Study reveals a continued practice-management perception gap concerning the health of nurse work environments, with frontline nurse managers (FNMs) generally rating the work environment healthier than do direct care nurses (DCNs). The results also support the important influence FNMs have on DCNs and the health of the work unit. Key priorities must include gaining a better understanding of the underlying causes of practice-management perception gaps, addressing the gaps through open discussion and communication, and DCNs and FNMs collaborating to improve the health of nurse work environments.

This article aims to underscore the transformative role of the New Nurse Manager Residency Program in preparing the new nurse manager (NM) to lead within a complex health system. In alignment with multiple partners under the umbrella of a more prominent Nursing Leadership Academy, a health-developed program, this strategic initiative plays a pivotal role in preparing and supporting our newest NMs at the beginning of their leadership careers, much like novice nurses at the beginning of their nursing careers. Results indicate that new NMs benefit in various ways, including strengthening their core competencies and leading to promotional opportunities.

A nurse manager’s span of control is a key component in defining workload. More specifically, the span of control in an acute care setting is a leading factor indicating a nurse manager’s success. This year, the American Organization for Nursing Leadership has partnered with others to produce several resources describing this span of control and insights about best practices. This article describes some of these findings and is a call to action to implement recommendations to effect change in the front-line nurse manager’s span of control, helping individuals in these key roles thrive.
护士长的控制范围是确定工作量的关键因素。更具体地说,急症护理环境中的控制范围是护士长成功的主要因素。今年,美国护理领导组织(American Organization for Nursing Leadership)与其他组织合作,制作了一些资源,描述了这种控制范围和对最佳实践的见解。本文介绍了其中的一些发现,并呼吁大家采取行动,落实建议,改变一线护士长的控制范围,帮助这些关键岗位上的个人茁壮成长。
