Competency-based pay has become the focus of much heated debate today. While its advocates assert it achieves precisely measurable benefits, opponents argue that tends to lead unfair, invalid, and discriminatory outcomes. Among companies have implemented competency-based pay, there is evidence failure rate relatively high. Over next few years however, with growing need emphasize employee development, authors expect see a major movement toward formal systems and, along an increase in...

The current crisis of emergency department overcrowding demands novel approaches. Despite a growing body patient flow literature, there is little understanding the work nurses. This study explored how nurses perform management.

A new certificate program has been designed that augments the traditional undergraduate nursing education with a curriculum of innovation and entrepreneurship. The goal Integrated Innovation & Entrepreneurship Certificate in Nursing Program (INNOVATE) is to empower nurses collaboratively solve health care challenges become thought leaders products, technologies, processes, as well service delivery methods, particular focus on needs vulnerable populations. Toward this goal, INNOVATE built an...

Specialty nursing certifications serve as a validation of knowledge in specific areas. Holistic emphasizes comprehensive patient care and incorporates complementary alternative modalities (CAM) into daily care. Despite its significance, limited research has evaluated the perceived value holistic certification among nurses.

This is the sixth article in a series on nurse innovators, which focuses nurse–engineer partnerships and outlines working, replicable models of collaboration between two disciplines. In this installment, we describe role academia building next generation nurse–engineers, highlighting three novel academic programs that have reimagined nursing engineering education to promote interdisciplinary partnership innovation.

The purpose of this study was to better understand the impact patient tubes/lines on early mobility therapy sessions for patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Early improves outcomes ICU, but its use is suboptimal. Significant barriers include risk dislodging tubes/lines, nursing workload, and staffing constraints. Secondary statistical analyses were conducted an existing quality improvement dataset collected during observation 22 four ICUs at two hospitals using descriptive statistics,...

To validate and refine Benjamin Jacelon's 2021 definition of patient flow management using the experience knowledge practicing emergency department nurses.Patient requires complex, real-time decision-making to match patients limited resources facilitate their movement through care processes. A literature-based concept analysis was first performed in 2021, but voice nurses is largely absent from existing research.This study employed an expanded methodology, as articulated by Kathleen...
