The Net Generation persona and its work-related skills and values are explored and implications are posed in this article for nurse administrators.

Multigeneration employees: strategies for effective management.

Today's health care workforce comprises Traditional, Baby Boomer, and Generation X employees. Effective managers must understand the times and generational characteristics of these employees and they must assure that employees understand and respect one another's differences. They must foster open discussion of how generational differences influence attitudes toward work and organizations. They must provide opportunities for multigeneration employees to contribute their best concurrent with meeting organizational goals. Employees must be offered a conditional security based upon value-added results and collaboration. Managers must use leadership practices that encourage the hearts of dispirited employees.

Curriculum revision isn't just change: it's transition!

Curriculum revision is being considered or is in process at most nursing programs across the country in response to the dynamic changes occurring in the health care industry. Any curriculum revision process necessarily causes a variety of faculty responses ranging from uneasiness to active resistance. Nursing curricula can be viewed as an extension of the faculty's psychological self, collectively and individually. Focusing on curriculum revision as a process of transition, rather than change, may assist faculty to more readily engage in the thinking necessary to develop a new curriculum for the 21st century. The outcomes of curriculum revision with planned strategies based on the process of transition include new curricula, redefined individual and faculty collective self, a renewed sense of psychological effectiveness, and role and environmental mastery and well-being.
