Nurse executives within academic health environments across Canada will be influencing health policy directions and dialogue within the profession nationally. They will be contributing to the development of a national agenda for nursing practice, education, research and leadership. These nurse executives will lead in a way that makes an invigorating impact on human service in health care environments and they will be dedicated to preparing the nursing leaders of tomorrow. The Academy of Canadian Executive Nurses will connect with the Office of Nursing Policy, Canadian Nurses Association, Canadian Association of University Schools of Nursing, Association of Canadian Academic Health Care Organizations and others to develop position papers regarding key issues such as patient safety, health human resource planning and leadership in the Canadian health care system. Our definition of professional nursing practice, fully integrated with education and research, will be advanced through these endeavours. The end result of a strong individual and collective voice will be improved patient outcomes supported by professional nursing practice in positive practice environments. This paper is intended to stimulate dialogue among nursing leaders in Canada, dislodge us from a long and traditional path, and place us firmly in a new millennium of leadership for the profession and practice of nursing, a style of leadership that is needed, wanted and supported by nurses and the clients we serve. It is the responsibility of those of us who lead in academic health science centres to be courageous for the students we support, the puactitioners we lead and the renewal of the profession. We are the testing ground for nursing research, and need to be the source of innovation for nursing practice. It is incumbent on us to leap forward to engage a new vision of the professional practice of nursing with a reconfigured work design and work environment compatible with the new economy, workplace and workforce.</p>","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"15 3","pages":"4-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22080313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Writing, especially writing for publication in a peer-reviewed professional journal, establishes you as a qualified and respected authority in your field and increases your reputation both within and outside your agency. As well, professional writing by nurse leaders contributes to the advancement of the nursing discipline and provides a service to the public. Even more importantly, professional writing can be a stimulating, challenging, creative outlet and allow for personal growth and development. Many nurse leaders, however, find writing a time-consuming and, sometimes, difficult chore, and procrastinate.

There is a need to explore alternative approaches to oncology treatment. The Oncology Day/Evening Hospital (ODEH), originally envisioned in 1995 as a joint project between an ambulatory cancer centre and a large teaching hospital, is an important cancer treatment initiative offering extended hours of ambulatory oncology treatment on days, evenings, weekends and statutory holidays. A review of current inpatient treatment modalities revealed that many patients receiving inpatient therapy could be safely and effectively managed in the ambulatory setting if treatment regimens were modified and if ambulatory hours of operation were extended. Healthcare improvements expected were: appropriate movement of inpatient activity to the ambulatory setting; more opportunities for patient choice in treatment time thereby allowing for maintenance of normal living; better quality of life for patients through prevention of hospitalization; decrease in treatment waiting times; consolidation of patients into an ambulatory oncology treatment setting as opposed to utilization of adult medicine units; and more rational inpatient bed utilization with reduction of admissions and intra-treatment transfers. This article describes our experience in building a dream, the challenges and lessons learned in implementing a better way to deliver oncology care in an environment of rapid change and staff shortages.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"240 1","pages":"10-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76126665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study asked nurse managers to indicate the important factors which influenced and facilitated their entry to management positions with a particular reference to the development of leadership characteristics. The results suggest that the leadership qualities we expect nurse managers to display evolve in a largely random way. Additionally, there is evidence that the development of leadership skills and attainment of management positions remains fragmented and random in nature. Because of this, individual nurse managers develop leadership skills almost by default using informal strategies to learn and develop. These findings should provide direction to educational providers and senior managers who seek to develop future leaders and managers.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"232 1","pages":"14-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76810280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post job action de-briefing with non-contract staff confirmed for the Capital Health Region in Victoria that the workload of patient care managers, along with their scope of responsibility was contributing to dissatisfaction, both on the part of patient care managers as well as nursing staff who they are intended to serve. Further, it was becoming increasingly apparent that the success of most of the organizational initiatives depended greatly on the presence, availability and support of patient care managers. Supported by the senior leadership team, the Chief Nursing Officer for the Capital Health Region agreed to have a look at unit based leadership--see what was being discussed across the country and in the literature and draw on her own experience in three provinces. The result would be a discussion paper that would circulate broadly throughout the organization and would provide the organization with broad input to help it decide collectively \"What do we need to do? Where do we need to go from here? And how will we get there?\" This article is an adaptation of that discussion paper.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"1 1","pages":"27-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82784402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
