How to build teams in the midst of change.
In the process of reengineering, nurse managers were shifted to unit coordinator positions. Former managers now share responsibility for some bedside decisions with staff who previously turned to them for problem-solving. Some staff nurses interpreted the role change as an increased workload for them that included doing their manager's jobs. Managers were challenged to empower staff members who resisted this shift in roles.

Making a CPR practice decision based on research.
This investigation explored whether there are significant differences between cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manikin techniques based on instructor observation and critique of key skill elements and previously approved CPR techniques based on review of manikin-generated strips. The purpose of the study was to validate a decision to discontinue reliance on manikin-generated strips to document satisfactory performance of CPR manikin practice skills. One-rescuer and two-rescuer CPR strips were blindly collected from all CPR course participants during a six-month period. The results indicated no significant difference (p > or = .05) between the two methods of evaluation.
