Nurse leaders are essential and make a big impact in the health care system. Leadership in nursing impact changes within the nursing practice and improve patient outcomes. A Clinical Nurse Leader or CNL is a leadership role that nurses be in the field. The American Association of Colleges (AACN) of Nursing defined a CNL as a master’s educated nurse, prepared for practice across the continuum of care within any healthcare setting.

The AACN mentioned that the Clinical Nurse Leader focuses on the following:

  • Care Coordination
  • Outcomes Measurement
  • Transitions of Care
  • Interprofessional Communication and Team Leadership
  • Risk Assessment
  • Implementation of Best Practices Based on Evidence
  • Quality Improvement

To be effective in a leadership role, a Clinical Nurse Leader should be able to demonstrate the traits and qualities to be successful. A CNL would be successful in a democratic style of leadership. Some characteristics that democratic leaders have include competence, fairness, creativity, honesty, courage, and intelligence. They make decisions based on their morals and values, followers tend to feel inspired to take action and contribute to the group (Cherry, 2020).

Clinical nurse leaders are nurses who are appointed to oversee the staff of each shift. They typically hold a BSN, but in some cases do not and fill the role without the title and pay. A CL is a charge nurse and runs the unit and all of its responsibilities, they support and advocate for the nurses and staff on board that shift, they listen to the problems and complaints and do their best to fix them. “When employees feel supported and cared for, they are more likely to feel valued and have a desire to stay in their position (Mosadeghrad & Ferdosi, 2013). Just as the values and behaviors of organizations originate with its leadership, influential leaders can be relied upon for their professional responsibility and accountability (Azaare & Grosse, 2011). “ (Whitney, 20218). This is something that happens when someone feels appreciated, valued and respected.

A good leader has the above qualities and is trusted by others in times of need, support and help. A CL has roles to fill in their position and a multitude of tasks to complete all while ensuring the staff is able to complete their duties while being safe and protected. Good communication also is key and helps a leader get through to others to ensure a shift runs smoothly.

Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations

 

Boards of Nursing (BON) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of the nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.
  • Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.
  • Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion..

  Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your state/region with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected.

Discussion: Searching Databases

 

When you decide to purchase a new car, you first decide what is important to you. If mileage and dependability are the important factors, you will search for data focused more on these factors and less on color options and sound systems.

The same holds true when searching for research evidence to guide your clinical inquiry and professional decisions. Developing a formula for an answerable, researchable question that addresses your need will make the search process much more effective. One such formula is the PICO(T) format.

In this Discussion, you will transform a clinical inquiry into a searchable question in PICO(T) format, so you can search the electronic databases more effectively and efficiently. You will share this PICO(T) question and examine strategies you might use to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question.

To Prepare:

  • Review the materials offering guidance on using databases, performing keyword searches, and developing PICO(T) questions provided in the Resources.
  • Review the Resources for guidance and develop a PICO(T) question of interest to you for further study.

By Day 3 of Week 4

Post your PICO(T) question, the search terms used, and the names of at least two databases used for your PICO(T) question. Then, describe your search results in terms of the number of articles returned on original research and how this changed as you added search terms using your Boolean operators. Finally, explain strategies you might make to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question. Be specific and provide examples.
