Full textBackground: The nursing profession has seen significant increase in men choosing nursing as a career, yet male nurses are still grossly disproportionately in comparison to female nurses. As our society grows more diverse, the nursing profession and workforce needs to reflect the population they are providing care to. It is still not clearly understood with the opportunities, stable jobs, fairly good salaries, and even though the barriers toward male nurses are minimal, it appears that men are still not attracted to the nursing profession.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore and elucidate the everyday lived experience of male registered nurses in the workforce.
Methods: A qualitative phenomenological design and van Manen (1990) hermeneutic approach were used to describe and explicate the lived experience of the male nurses. The central question that guided the research study was: “What is the lived experience of male nurses in the workforce? The participants were (N =17) male nurses, 21 years and older, with more than one year nursing experience living in the tri-counties of South Florida, speak English, and willing to speak about their experience.
Results: The central themes and sub-themes highlighted were motivating factors (job opportunities, job flexibility, financial stability) breaking gender barriers (moving beyond gender barriers, making a difference, caring for female patients), and gendering (preferential privileges, maintaining masculinity).
Conclusion: Men in nursing with their minority status continue to have advantages. Further investigation is needed to understand why more men, especially the younger male adults are not attracted to the nursing profession. The Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) maybe a good tool for guidance counselors to introduce in high schools and colleges to assist students to identify career path.

Full textNational calls for a better-educated nursing workforce are proliferating. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) challenged the nursing profession by setting the goal of having 80% of the nation's nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level (BSN) or higher by 2020. This is an ambitious goal given that, nationally, only 50% of nurses have a BSN. In fact, only 40% of nurses in Michigan have a BSN, and in the rural North-Central Region of this state, only 29% (the lowest in the state) of the nurses have a BSN. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to understand and interpret the meaning of being an associate degree (AD) nurse, the meaning attaining a BSN has for rural registered nurses who currently have an AD, and the barriers they experience that inform their decisions to return to school (or not). The investigator interviewed 11 AD nurses from rural North-Central Michigan and analyzed interview transcripts to identify common experiences and shared meanings using methods identified by Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner (1989). Two themes were explicated in this study: "Getting in and Getting out" and "What Difference Does it Make?" The findings in this study challenge many of the common assumptions about academic progression in nursing and provide educators, administrators, and legislators with insight about the strategies that may be most helpful for achieving the IOM goal in rural Michigan.

Full textA global shortage of Registered Nurses (RNs) has been reported internationally, and confirmed in South Africa by the National Audit of Critical Care services. Critical Care Nurses (CCNs) especially are in great demand and short supply. This has affected the quality of patient care. The purpose of this study was to perform a workforce analysis and needs assessment of critical care nursing services in the Western Cape Province as at 1 January 2005. The study design is a descriptive survey conducted on site in the critical care units of the private and public sector hospitals of the Western Cape, using a structured questionnaire, with a 96.5% return rate. Findings showed that the 35 hospitals surveyed in the public and private healthcare sectors had 80 functional critical care units including Intensive Care Units and High Care Units for adults, children and neonates, and High Dependency Units for adults. Factors that contribute to the demand for critical care nurses include the number of critical care beds, patient admissions, severity of illness, available facilities, medical, nursing and support staff. Compared to internationally accepted norms, the Western Cape units have a deficit of 74% of Registered Nurses (RNs) in the public sector hospitals, and a deficit of 82% in the private sector. This equates to an actual shortage of 3010 RNs for both sectors. If all categories of nursing staff are included in the calculation, the public sector meets 49% of its requirements and the private sector 24%. Half of the private sector and 28.9% of the public sector Registered Nurses are Critical Care Nurses. Few measures appear to be taken to recruit and retain nursing staff. The number of students being trained at both the undergraduate (300 during 2004) and the postgraduate (80 CCNs during 2004) level at the educational institutions, in conjunction with the hospitals, is inadequate. Clinical training institutions are available, but the numbers of educators and clinical mentors are inadequate to train the number of nurses required to meet the demand.

Full textThe specific problem under study results from the growth of multinational workforces in U.S. hospitals and the gap in the literature explaining how the presence of these workforces impacts hospital leadership, decision-making, and financial performance. The purpose of this qualitative embedded multi-case study was to discover and describe hospital nursing leader’s beliefs from their experiences about how having employees from multiple national cultures affects nursing leadership, decision-making, and departmental financial performance in the hospital. The challenge faced by many hospitals is that the U.S. workforce is becoming culturally diverse as the global workforce increases its geographical mobility. The current research was important because results revealed nurse leaders’ beliefs about a link between the cultural dimensions of a multinational workforce and the decision-making, financial performance, and patient care within a hospital nursing department. The sample included eight nursing leaders from seven hospitals where the workforces are multinational and culturally diverse. The cultural dimensions by Hofstede were used to study the impact of a multinational workforce on the organizational practices of a nursing department in a hospital setting. Results revealed nine core themes, expected from the literature, and two emerging themes provided answers to the research questions. The nine core themes were Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, workforce values, nursing organization impact, immigration/migration, nursing leadership, nursing workforce, organization culture, change, and develop multicultural organization attributes. The two emerging themes were familismo (family loyalty influences multinational workforce decision making) and hospital refusal to hire multicultural nurses whose national culture conflict with the organization’s culture.
Miller, Telva. "A qualitative phenomenological study| Hiring nurses re-entering the workforce after chemical dependence." Thesis, University of Phoenix, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3583325.
Full textAlthough many studies may have been conducted to gain greater insight into the experiences of chemically impaired nurses, few, if any, studies focused on understanding and explaining the experiences of administrators who have hired, fired, or supervised chemically rehabilitated professionals. Imogene King’s conceptual system and theory of goal attainment forms the framework for this study because the model is focused on three interacting systems identified as personal, interpersonal, and social systems. King views people as dynamic human beings whose discernment of persons, events, and objects guide their behaviors, social interactions, and physical well-being. In this qualitative phenomenological study, the lived experiences of administrators, supervisors, and managers who have hired, fired, or supervised recovered chemical dependent nurses as well as managers’ perceptions and attitudes about professionals rehabilitated from chemical dependency re-entering practice are explored. Each member of the purposefully selected sample participated in audiotaped open-ended interviews. The information was analyzed according to Colaizzi’s procedural steps. The major themes that emerged included demonstration of compassion, concern for the assignment of duties, the influence of personal values (forgiveness, acceptance, and respect for others), and eligibility for employment and the successful completion of the Impaired Nurse Program (IPN). Results from the study add to existing nursing literature and may assist leaders to construct a work setting conducive to meeting the goals set forth by health administrators as well as provide insight into and acceptance of the rehabilitated professional in the work setting.

Full textThis qualitative and quantitative study, an exploratory-descriptive study, examines the characteristics regarding the work performed by nursing professionals in clinical laboratories. The general goal aims to identify roles played by nursing professionals in clinical laboratories that allow us to characterize the nursing work process. The specific goals seek to identify health workers that are responsible for collecting samples, to distinguish the activities played by different nursing professionals and to learn how they are inserted in the organizational structure. The theoretical reference adopted is based on studies regarding work procedures and human resources in health and nursing. A questionnaire was used to collect data and the sample comprised 45 institutions. Regarding the clinical laboratories, result analysis revealed that 15.6% of them do not offer in-service training and 60% do not do it on a continuous manner; nurses basically take on the responsibility for training other nursing professionals. Regarding human resources, 77.8% are nursing assistants, 13% are nurses, and 9.1% are practical nurses. There is evidence of a social and technical division of the workload: nursing assistants provide direct care, nurses manage the processes, and practical nurses perform both activities. No relevant differences were observed between the activities played by nursing assistants from those played by practical nurses. Furthermore, there are other professionals that share the same activities played by those nursing professionals. In most cases, nursing professionals are subordinated to other areas and have little autonomy in the organizational structure.

Full textThe object of this study is the work of the nursing practice\'s categories under the post-fordism organization into the financial-funding capitalism. We associated the globalization of capital and the financial dominance to the expansion of the field of health services in Brazil. Under this view, we discuss the characteristics of team work and the categories in nursing practice, the general and private relationship into the field and problematize the reading of the nursing practice under the light of the taylorism. The case studies concentrate in three hospitals of different administrative methods: public; through Social Health Organization (OSS); and private administration in the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo. In these units, through ethnography and interviews with professionals, we characterize the type of work regimen by analyzing the employment network; the remuneration; the transfers, promotions and dismissals; the characteristics of the absentees; the relation with the superiors and the team action. Strictly, about our process of work, we address the predominance of the act of caring, the influence of the technology, the procedure errors and the healthcare of the workers. In our point of view, the conversion of the health services into fields of capital appreciation and the sub-financing of the State configure an imbalanced relationship between the demand of users and the incipient amount of workers that would be the modus operandis of the nursing practice. Thus, the process of work lays the foundations of the tensioned flux flux tendu of the reactivity to the context, generating overcharge and intensification, therefore the incidence of mistakes, physical-psychological distress and frustration to the workers.
