Patient safety is an area with global implications. Across the country and around the globe, patients should be able to count on receiving safe healthcare. This requires the commitment of all stakeholders to a culture of safety and to the development of improved systems. The evidence base suggests that focusing on nursing would improve patient safety. The WHO launched “Nine patient safety solutions" to help reduce health care-related harm affecting millions of patients worldwide. Zagreb, Croatia www.hums.hr 5/16/2010 Indifference Nurses are the largest group of healthcare professionals in the world. As we face increasingly complex healthcare challenges, nurses need to be fully productive and fully engaged in their work and in their profession. However, the continuing global nursing shortage makes it difficult for healthcare organizations and policy makers to resolve issues and sustain gains because of the direct effect of the lack of nurses on patient care, financial and related outcome. Zagreb, Croatia www.hums.hr 5/17/2010 Transformational Leadership Transformational leaders use their passion to engage people in a special way, accomplish superb results and move beyond the traditional. The transformational nurse leader who understand how to share a vision, how to connect with others, how to mentor and coach others will to exceed expectations and build high performance teams will be successful engage others in the work. Zagreb, Croatia www.hums.hr 5/17/2010 Positive Practice Environments There is a direct correlation between the quality of nurses' work environments and job satisfaction, productivity, recruitment, retention and, most importantly, the quality of patient care and outcomes. Research shows that positive practice environments and sufficient registered nurse staffing are important predictors of quality client outcomes in healthcare organizations. If we are to meet global goals for healthcare, we must establish and foster positive practice environments. Zagreb, Croatia www.hums.hr 9/25/2010 Energy Medicine The purpose of this program is to focus on nursing's role within the new academic field of energy medicine. The thoughts you think affect every cell in your body. Energy Medicine recognizes energy as a vital, living, moving force that is at the foundation of our well-being. The human body is composed of some 100 trillion cells, each connected electrochemically with up to 10 thousand other cells. Energy medicine works directly with the electromagnetic and more subtle energies that orchestrate health, emotions, and behavior within this incomprehensibly complex network. It is proving to be an effective, powerful, and surprisingly precise way of improving health, enhancing performance, and increasing the joy in one's life. Energy medicine draws upon ancient healing and spiritual practices (e.g., acupuncture, qi gong, and yoga), combines them with scientific procedures (e.g., empirical research, biofeedback, EEGs, and MRIs), and adopts them into modern contexts. Energy Medicine is intended to open hearts and minds to the impact of cell health on one's well-being. We focus on Holistic Nursing's understanding and application of the circuitry of the mind and body and implications for self-care and reflective practice. We welcome healthcare practitioners from all walks of life to examine the relationship between energy medicine and overall health. Select a program from the 2010 series at a location near you!

Publications 2/20/2009 B is for Balance We talk about our professional lives and our personal lives as if they can be separated. The truth is you have one life to live. The balance between work and life is a reflection of the balance within you. Life/work balance is a barometer for well-being: personal, professional, family and community well-being. B is for Balance is about you – the professional, the multi-tasker, the ‘be all things to all people’ leader. T.S. Eliot said, “Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.” We explore the simple life and how it can translate into balance for you. B is for Balance is intended for nurses in all practice settings as well as educators, students and administrators. The book will attract those who are juggling multiple responsibilities at home, at work, and within the community. Readers will identify with the need to create life/work balance for personal and professional growth. Much of the information in this book will mirror one’s own life, and establish an impetus for change. May the reader be inspired to act, to focus, and to achieve. 12/20/2011 Workplace wellness The trend toward healing environments within the workplace is aimed at overall well-being. Features associated with workplace wellness might be structural or more ambient with controlled lighting, sharing circles, waterfalls, and more. Florence Nightingale’s theory of nursing reminds us that nursing is a calling. Her vision honored the relationship between the patient and the nurse and called for an awareness of the environment. A caring environment that acknowledges the mind/body/spirit connection is invaluable to us as well as to our patients. Nursing leadership can, and does support a caring environment to promote growth, education and self-actualization. The environment is realized through respect, support, and open communication, creating a culture of magnetism. Taking a holistic approach encourages healing in all dimensions – mental, emotional, spiritual, social and physical – thus creating an optimal environment of renewal for patients and employees alike…a Circle of Wellness. |
