Abstract:
Bolstering Moral Distress Knowledge, Ethical Decision-Making Confidence, and Moral Courage Among Nurse Leaders
Background
Nurse leaders report low confidence navigating ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas arise when ethical values are challenged, causing uncertainty about how to proceed. Left unresolved, ethical dilemmas impact ethical decision-making and can lead to moral distress. Moral distress is the anguish that occurs when there is recognition of an ethical dilemma necessitating a professional obligation to act, yet barriers exist to taking the ethically correct course of action.
To reduce moral distress, nurse leaders not only need to be able to identify an ethical dilemma, know …

Implementing In-Room Recycling On A Family Medical Center, Sarah Johnson
Central Division Nurse Clinical Inquiry Conference
Abstract:
Title: Implementing In-Room Recycling on a Family Medical Center
Background:
Healthcare operations are estimated to generate up to 29lbs of waste per patient per day (Practice Greenhealth, 2022). Waste contributes significantly to healthcare’s carbon emissions, which in turn contributes to the growing climate crisis (Karliner et al., 2019, Healthcare Without Harm, 2019; World Health Organization, 2018). Diverting recyclable waste from healthcare operations will reduce healthcare’s total waste to landfill and waste related carbon emissions.
Recycling bin placement and contamination rates (the amount of items in recycling that should go to another waste stream) can impact recycling levels. Staff at …

Unit-Based Onboarding Program For New Graduates On A Medical-Surgical Unit, Racquel A. Brewster
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Nurse turnover is prevalent among new graduate nurses. Many new graduate nurses feel unsupported by their peers, lack self-confidence, or feel overburdened due to the workload assigned to them. New graduate nurses with support systems are more likely to stay with an organization. Research suggests the creation of a supportive environment for new graduate nurses to help increase nurse retention in this demographic. A unit-based transition onboarding program was launched to create a supportive environment to help retain new graduate nurses on a medical-surgical unit. New graduate nurses with at least 1 to 3 years of experience completed a Likert-type …

Background: The setting for this study is the implementation of a wellness program for nurse leaders at Hospital A, a healthcare organization servicing the South Sacramento area in California. Healthcare is a challenging and high-demand profession, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an issue of burnout and unwavering job-related stress for physicians and employees. This remains true for nurse leader professionals who take on the responsibility to ensure safety and quality always remains at ideal measures for any facility.
Problem: During the past several years of the pandemic, the nurse leader role has had to endure several unknowns, placing significant …

Emergency Department To Medical Telemetry Bed Flow Optimization, Anne Rochelle P. Taco
Master's Projects and Capstones
Abstract
Background: The setting for this quality improvement project is a 22-bed medical telemetry unit that receives approximately 85% of ED admissions. The capacity challenges are one of the major causes of ED admissions beyond the 60-minute benchmark. To create capacity, discharges should happen earlier on the day or before 1:00 p.m. to be able to admit patients within 60 minutes from when the physician writes an order to patient transfer to the telemetry unit.
Problem: Patients are being boarded in the ED for extended times while waiting for an inpatient bed assignment. Longer boarding time in the ED is …

Reduce Extended Length Of Stay By Reducing In-Hospital Falls, Norberto Benitez
Master's Projects and Capstones
Abstract
Problem: Every year, there are many in-hospital falls (IHFs). Nationally there are between 700,000 to 1 million falls recorded each year. Hospital falls financially burden our healthcare industry, costing approximately 34 billion annually. Context: In a local hospital in Northern California, Marin County, the microsystem has had an extraordinary number of in-hospital falls (IHFs). To date (June 2023), 13 falls have been recorded thus far; the microsystem is on track to beat the previous year's record number of 21 falls in a calendar year. Interventions: The MSN–CNL student proposed re-educating staff, resetting expectations, and reestablishing workflow. We also sought …

Safe Staffing, Safe Patients Benchmark Project, Sarah Barton
MSN Capstone Projects
With the most recent pandemic, nurses have been overworked, overwhelmed, and understaffed at dangerous levels. Nurses are leaving full time employment at this facility in droves to seek better wages through traveling. In turn, our patient outcomes have taken a large hit, with an increase in falls, pressure ulcers, and catheter-acquired urinary tract infections, to name a few. This is costly for the hospital, not to mention the damper it puts on the hospital’s vision and goals. With the implementation of a nursing incentive program, the hospital could cut overall spending in half within 2 years with an investment of …
Improving Safety In The Emergency Department: Utilizing Metal Detectors To Mitigate Weapon Possession,

Improving Safety In The Emergency Department: Utilizing Metal Detectors To Mitigate Weapon Possession, Jonathan Garcia
MSN Capstone Projects
Today’s high risk-healthcare environment has prioritized patient safety with great initiatives and, unfortunately, placed staff safety second. However, safety for both groups should be equal priorities. Evidence suggests that Emergency Departments (ED) often care for patients with a history of crime and mental health diagnoses, creating an environment where the threat of violence and weapons is increasingly prevalent compared to other clinical settings. (Erlyana, 2019) Risk mitigation is possible if we consider studies by Malka et al. (2015) and Laidlaw et al. (2017) that indicate the efficacy of metal detectors in accurately identifying concealed weapons. To improve clinician and patient …

Abstract
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to ripple through everyday life. In December 2019, an outbreak occurred in China. Subsequently, the World Health Organization identified SARS-CoV-2 as a new type of coronavirus that quickly spread around the globe (Nazario, 2022). As of May 31, 2023, there were 6,938,353 confirmed deaths worldwide from COVID-19 (WHO, 2023).
A needs assessment completed by the University identified that a program evaluation of the university’s COVID-19 response was warranted. Therefore, this program evaluation was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the policies and protocols implemented at a Catholic University in Southwestern Pennsylvania to …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Nurses are the frontline in the security of the United States. Their wellbeing and retention in the workforce is of the utmost of importance. Nurses are leaving at increasing levels with just over 27% turnover rates across the nation in 2021. Organizations are experiencing increasing fiscal losses and the average loss for a nurse leaving is just over $46,000. The prioritization of nurses’ wellbeing and taking steps to address policy that promotes the sustainability of this very valuable workforce has the potential to pay high dividends for nurses individually, the security of the nation, and the good of the organization. …
