Outcome 4 Leadership: Apply leadership concepts and skills to promote the provision of competent, compassionate, cost-effective and safe care in a variety of settings and systems.
Outcome Achieved: NUR 428, Leadership in Nursing
This course allowed me to understand the use of leadership in providing care for my clients in many different settings. For my project I looked at safe staffing ratios and how those impact all components of this outcome. Specifically, I was able to look at how lower nurse-to-patient ratios can lead to lower readmission rates, lower mortality rates, and lowered costs for the patient and the hospital. This allows for nurses to provide competent, compassionate, and cost-effective care for all of our patients.
