The Essentials of Clinical Reasoning for Nurses: Using the Outcome-Present State Test Model for Reflective Practice

In today’s healthcare environment of scarce resources and challenges related to safety and quality, nurses must make decision after decision to ensure timely, accurate, and efficient provision of care. Solid decision-making, or lack thereof, can significantly affect patient care and outcomes. Clinical reasoning – how a nurse processes information and chooses what action to take – is a skill vital to nursing practice and split-second decisions. And yet, developing the clinical reasoning to make good decisions takes time, education, experience, patience, and reflection. Along the way, nurses can benefit from a successful, practical model that demystifies and advances clinical reasoning skills. In The Essentials of Clinical Reasoning for Nurses, authors RuthAnne Kuiper, Sandra O’Donnell, Daniel Pesut, and Stephanie Turrise provide a model that supports learning and teaching clinical reasoning, development of reflective and complex thinking, clinical supervision, and care planning through scenarios, diagnostic cues, case webs, and more.

Minority Nurses in the New Century

Nurses form the largest occupational group - 2.6 million - in the U.S. health care system. While the racial and ethnic make-up of United States is surging toward greater diversity, a similar change in the nursing profession is yet to be seen. This book provides a wealth of data and insights essential to identifying and overcoming workplace barriers and increasing diversity in the health care workforce. Minority Nurses in the New Century presents both a unique national survey of ethnic and racial minority nurses and a pilot project that grew out of that initial study. The findings of this survey reveal in detail the characteristics of these nurses, the reality of their work, and their perceptions of it. In addition to a discussion of the survey and its findings, the survey's data is conveyed in a series of figures, depicting comprehensively the personal and professional characteristics of these nurses. Some data on their patients, a comparison of the work of minority and majority nurses, and overall recommendations are also included. The pilot project, a year-long series of workshops, allowed a group of nurse leaders from historically black colleges and universities to explore their concerns about collaborative partnerships with majority nursing schools. Findings from the project are presented, along with a detailed practical model, that together should help minority nurses to develop the skills and strategies needed to assume leadership roles. Minority Nurses in the New Century will help nursing and health care leaders, educators, and researchers to facilitate minority nurses in professional and leadership roles and thus influence health care in a manner appropriate for the 21st century.

Nurses' Questions/women's Questions

In the forty year period after World War II, American women's roles and perceptions changed dramatically. Between 1946 and 1986 married females became a large and stable component of the labor force. During the late 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, a growing number of these women adopted the beliefs of the re-emerging feminist movement. This study analyzes the impact of both the demographic revolution and the women's movement on postwar women workers. It also traces the rise of a conservative backlash and examines the reasons traditionalist women found feminism threatening. Nursing, a historically feminized occupation, is the prism through which postwar women are studied.

What Makes a Good Nurse

In recent years, the human values at the heart of the nursing profession seem to have become side-lined by an increased focus on managerialist approaches to health care provision. Nursing's values are in danger of becoming marginalised further precisely because that which nursing does best - providing care and helping individuals through the human trauma of illness - is difficult to measure, and therefore plays little, if any, part in official accounts of outcome measures. Derek Sellman sets out the case for re-establishing the primacy of the virtues that underpin the practice of nursing in order to address the question: what makes a good nurse? He provides those in the caring professions with both a rationale and a practical understanding of the importance that particular character traits, including justice, courage, honesty, trustworthiness and open-mindedness, play in the practice of nursing, and explains why and how nurses should strive to cultivate these virtues, as well as the implications of this for practice. This original and thought-provoking book will be essential reading for nurses and nursing students, care workers, care commissioners, and many others who work in the caring professions.
