Building Charge Nurse Leadership Programs by Enderleen Ferland-Jamali Book PDF Summary
Emergency Departments provide critical healthcare services to millions of people each year. Charge nurses are frequently responsible for managing day-to-day operations of these complex, high-risk environments. Charge nurses significantly impact patient outcomes, department throughput, and staff satisfaction. Yet, current standards for educating and preparing nurses to take on the charge nurse role are inconsistent and inadequate. The purpose of this project was to develop a toolkit to guide educators in developing charge nurse education/ leadership programs for the emergency department. Toolkit topics included role of the charge nurse, leadership, skills development, and understanding different parts of the organization. Each section included goals, learning objectives, instructional activities, and resources. Establishing consistent and robust charge nurse education programs will result in confident, well-prepared charge nurses. This will not only improve day-to-day operations but also safety and quality of care delivered to millions of people.
