  20. A Caring Leadership Model for Nursing’s Future Randy L. Williams II, RN, MSN, MBA, Associate Faculty Watson Caring Science Institute, Professional Practice Coordinator Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center(WFUBMC) Donald D. Kautz, RN, PhD, CRRN, CNE, Associate Professor of Nursing, UNC-Greensboro Judy B. McDowell, RN, MSN, CCRN, Professional Practice Manager WFUBMC Exemplar of Caring Leadership: I have two RNs in my department who desire to cut back on their work hours. These employees are long-time, seasoned nurses. I sat down with both of these employees and allowed them to discuss their concerns and wishes. I could have ignored their request but instead have worked with them to create work hours that meet their personal needs. I allowed them to “vent” and gave them guidance and support. We are in a trial period with their schedules. ~~C. M.

  21. Many of us care about our moments here….. But there is a famous story about Florence…

  22. The Rise of Nightingale and the Decline of Men in Nursing • 1860 – Nightingale establishes her first school for nurses • “SaireyGamp” – a cultural perception of nurses • Decline in the number of monasteries • Unorganized and poor quality nursing practiced in secular hospitals • United States military does not allow men to work as nurses until after the Korean War (100 years of no US military men in nursing!) (O’Lynn & Tranbarger, 2007)

  23. Change did come

  24. Nightingale was a • Nursing Theorist – (is Bill Cody in the room?) • Feminist • A woman who at times had • Nursing leader • “The” Florence Nightingale • Statistician • Visionary • And finally, why Florence wouldn’t let men change the light bulb…

  25. Nightingale’s Personality Type(Dossey, 2010)

  26. INTJ Personality TypeA major legacy for nursing Traditionally, nursing has always valued nurses who are independent, individualistic, single-minded, love rules and order, and are tough minded with others – and follow the leaders who think and act just like them. The pitfall is that nursing leaders may have difficulty letting go of impractical ideas, ignore the impact of their leadership style on others, and criticize others who strive for the ideal. Some would argue that this personality type has led us to be a profession that…

  27. Nightingale’s Challenge for NursesDossey, 2010 Nightingale’s INTJ personality allowed her to be a practicing mystic, mange her chronic illness, and her ability to create new models of nursing care. Nightingale’s legacy is a challenge for nurses to: - educate political leaders to create health reform - integrate healing, spirituality AND technology - respond with the same courage she demonstrated in carrying our vision to the world Nightingale would argue there is still a need for a “rebirth” of the true values of nursing

  28. Another birth story The night of a big storm, the power went out. Due to a power outage, Joe, the nurse midwife was the only one who come help. The house was very, very dark, so Joe asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently Kathleen did as she was asked.

  29. Her mother Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born. Joe lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. Joe then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year-old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.

  30. Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place." "Smack his ass again."

  31. Statistic’s Legacy McDonald, 2010 Nightingale • Was a passionate statistician • Belief based on her faith in a God of order • Used statistics to indicate serious problems, assist in policy making, monitor outcomes Legacy for Nursing • Statistics is a required course in BSN programs Even though..... • We are all taught, “we must show the effect of our care......”

  32. Nightingale’s causes of mortality

  33. Unfortunately our data.... • Nursing is still “billed as part of the room charge” • Nurse’s enter data daily which is never used...... This data is rarely available to practicing nurses. Legacy for men (and women) entering in 2010 • We say that our practice is based on evidence, but much of our care is still based on tradition. • The technology is here for us to now to use ALL the data we collect. There will be more and more and more changes to come...

  34. As these changes come • There will be times for all of us to tell our unique stories. • Speaking of unique stories… • Ram, did you hear about the time that God told St. Peter… • Showing, we must create our own legacies

  35. Not this legacy!
