What Sort of Leader Is Needed?

Case Study

Two new associate-degree graduates were hired for the pediatric unit. Both worked three 12-hour shifts a week; Jan worked the day-to-evening shift and Rosemary worked the night shift. Whenever their shifts connected, they would compare notes on their experience. Jan felt she was learning rapidly, gaining clinical skills and beginning to feel at ease with her colleagues.

Rosemary, however, still felt unsure of herself and often isolated. There have been times that she was the only registered nurse on the unit all night. The aides and LPNs were very experienced, but Rosemary feels she is not ready for that kind of responsibility. Rosemary knows she must speak to the nurse manager about this, but she’s called several times, and she’s never available. The shift assignments are left in the staff lounge by an assistant.

Questions

Your discussion post should answer the following questions in a well-constructed commentary. Use references, in APA format, where appropriate.

  1. To what extent is this problem due to a failure to lead? Who has failed to act?
  2. What style of leadership was displayed by Rosemary? The nurse manager?
  3. How effective was their leadership? What are your suggestions for Rosemary?

Instructions

Population Health Intervention and Social Marketing Assignment

In this assignment, you will build on the community assessment you completed. First, start with the Community Health Diagnosis, the priority health needs you identified at the end of the Community Assessment, and the goal and objectives you drafted when you completed the Goals and Behavioral Objectives lesson at How to Write Community Health Education Behavioral Objectives https://softchalkcloud.com/lesson/serve/D5P10ig3MWJOVx/html (from Module/Week 9)

Build on the community assessment assignment, community health diagnosis, goals, and behavioral objectives to add the population intervention and social marketing assignment.

Save the goals and objectives you use during this activity for a future discussion posting!

Population Health Intervention and Social Marketing Experience: Go to https://www.softchalkcloud.com/lesson/serve/C3ePZu4cWLHRdI/html

Complete the Population Health Intervention and Social Marketing Assignment learning/assessment activity and at the end of the activity—see the last page under references at the bottom of the page to retrieve a certificate of completion and submit to the courseroom dropbox for credit. Passing is 95% to earn the certificate but you may retake the questions in the module as many times as you want to earn a higher grade.

How to Save Your Certificate on Your Device in Digital Format

To save your certificate in digital format on your device, select print on your device when the certificate is showing. (Yes, select print, even though you will not be printing it!) Instead of choosing a printer on the printer options, select save as a PDF file. Save the certificate as a PDF to your device. Then upload the certificate to the courseroom dropbox for grade credit.

Another technique is to take a picture with your smartphone and upload the image to the assignment dropbox for grade credit.

Hovering your mouse over the certificate, using a right-click, and selecting the menu item to save as an image and saving to your device as a jpg or png file is the least effective method, as depending on your computer/web browser settings, this may save the certificate as blank.

The score summary is not required. The certificate is required for grade credit.

Discussion Board GRAD

Discussion Board (DB) Participation Rubric
Discussion boards (DBs) are what make an online course a course and not an independent study.
DBs are vital to demonstrating that the learner has met the expected course level outcomes.
Collaboration between peers and your instructor in the DB is an important aspect of the online learning experience and is expected in the course.
Any exceptions to the following DB rubric will be at the instructor’s discretion.
The purpose of a DB is to stimulate critical thinking in a scholarly manner.
Critical thinking consists of synthesis, creating solutions, application to real world situations, and testing, debating, and defending evidence-based solutions.
Critical thinking is not repetition of assigned reading material. Outside research of the literature is a vital part of the DB.
Posts need to be substantive. This means that responses such as “I agree” or “great post” do not meet grading rubric requirements.
Initial posts for each discussion question (DQ) is due no later than Saturday of the unit week.
The initial post must be an answer to the DQ topic, not a comment on other posts. Initial posts for each DB must also include a minimum of three peer-reviewed citations.
Citations must include outside sources and no more than one citation from assigned course readings may be used each week.
While the discussion board tool limits the ability to use APA formatting (e.g., hanging indents), posts must include the required elements of an APA in-text citation and list of references.
