Management education. Needs of nurse administrators in long-term care.

Nurse administrators in long-term care experience relatively short tenure in the management role. Since the majority of nurse administrators in long-term care facilities have initial nursing preparation at the diploma or associate degree level, they do not receive educational preparation in leadership and management in their nursing education programs. There is a need for management education of nurse administrators in rural long-term care facilities, as perceived by chief executive officers and nurse administrators.

Implementing a councilor model: process and outcomes.

The councilor model of shared governance was implemented at the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System in January 1995. The goal was to reduce, eliminate, and consolidate nursing committees, enhance communication, and increase the decision-making abilities and opportunities of staff members. A study was conducted to determine the perceptions of the nursing staff relative to the culture of the organization after implementation of the model. The authors describe the process and outcomes of the resulting performance improvement processes, organizational redesign, and outcomes of this initiative.
