Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper discussing the benefits of operating under the principles of these two approaches to nursing. There are several levels at which health care facilities maintain care-giving employees. Not all of them require specific licensing, but lack of licensing prevents them from operating in the realm of the RN or LPN. All organizations are obliged to operate with the greatest efficiency they can find. Keeping individuals “in their place” can appear in the short term to be more efficient, but operating as a functioning team committed to patient care is truly the more efficient approach.

that those having the greatest degree of direct patient contact have a voice in establishing policy for both the present and the future. Shared Governance

nurse is best suited to address, however. Shared governance does not only allow the nurse to have a voice in the policies and strategies that the health care facilitys
administration sets. Rather, it allows the organization to take advantage of the wealth of experience and knowledge held by each actively practicing nurse on staff.
Bell (2000) reports that when an Australian hospital instituted shared governance, nurse managers responded "by developing a teamwork model that allows team members to achieve significant workplace
reforms, have ownership in how they deliver patient care, and, in turn, experience job satisfaction" (p. 631). The result is that all types of health care workers that come
into contact with a single individual patient all work together as a team to achieve their own "goals and those of the organization" (Bell, 2000; p. 631).
