Organizational Change

Change is a necessity for elevation as for example, change in an organization must lead to development, to a higher level than the real existed one. Change can be made in any department in the organization by any of its members. Managers are the most important persons to encourage other employees to do changing steps yet they have to explain why changes are going to be made, what benefits are going to be gained out of change and how such changes can be achieved. An employee has to cope with changes made in the organization so as to keep the job he or she masters and to be promoted due to working for the welfare of the organization. Change needs many things in order to be well performed such as delivering the tasks specifically on all employees, specifying all steps needed to reach successful change and doing the change on the exact suitable timing for it. Change sometimes is radical and then it is called transformation. Change may be required to replace retarding parts of the business with progressive ones and sometimes it is rejected by some employees but competitive leaders can perform change with neglecting this resistance. There are many areas of change such as technological change, strategic change or people change. There are techniques for managing change such as learning everything and understanding the current situation of the business and analyze it in order to identify all weak points and problems faced by the organization and hindering its progress, stating the future wishes and ambitions is also another technique to set all future desires required to make the business reach its extreme success and competitive advantage in the market. Ordering the steps of change is a must when trying to implement a change even if it is small so as to prepare everything needed to perform such change effectively. Change can be a tool for leading a company towards development and success or to lead it to failure which occurs when change is not performed as planned and not made for the purposes set before so any company that try to implement change has to be cautious when it thinks of performing change.

The Importance of Nursing Interventions

Nursing interventions are regular visits nurses do for the patients whether at hospitals or at patients homes so as to follow the patients' cases and present the special treating courses needed for the patients. Such interventions have special classification systems that are prepared in most advanced countries in the medical organizations that have professional nurses, all nurses can use such standardized systems in order to provide the patients with the high level qualified caring which improves the patients quality of life and that promise with a better comfortable healthy period of treatment for the patients. Nursing interventions have four min stages which are: the assessment, planning, treatment implementations and evaluation. In ach stage the nurse has specific points and procedures that should be done in order to specify what is exactly needed to be done and what treatment should be provided for the patients each and then at last to evaluate the patient's case and see if the interventions were successfully done or not. Work of the nurse can be done individually or within a team. A multidisciplinary tem that consists of many specialists including nurses is a good idea. This makes no difference with the work of nursing interventions, it is the same in both cases. The nurse responsibility is the most important when coming to interventions as nurses are those who care for monitoring the patient case, recording all changes and also educating the patient and his or her family about the disease and how to manage it. Things like referrals, counseling, medication administrating, advocacy of the patients and other medical steps which could be minor are all included within nursing interventions. This all done in order to prepare the patient for being ready to manage the disease or he pain and keep a case of stability that helps doctors complete the treatment procedures easier. Another important factor that nursing interventions have is the process of evaluation for the treatment and for the patient case. Nurses can ask for the help of other professionals if the patient case needs this and they should be working in a secured safe quiet and clean environment in order to let them present their best without having any stress or anxiety. Student nurses can share in such interventions so as to make a nursing plan and know methods and theories about how to assess patients in such interventions, they have to work within teams and get their experiences in order to be able to face medical and nursing difficult situations and be prepared for interactions with patients, their relatives and their families. Nursing interventions must be given the ultimate care and interest by all nursing schools and hospitals.

Writing a research paper

Writing a research paper is an easy task if you know how to manage it, what to do, when and why you are writing. Research papers are written for educational and research purposes so you have to set notes before doing anything. First bring some cards and write down your own ideas about the topic you are going to write about. It is better to begin earlier than you have decided to begin writing in order to leave time for revising and editing your work. Secondly, arrange the cards on which ideas are on then begin searching for resources that will help you with your research. Remember to gather and discover as many resources as possible even if not used as references, you can put them in the bibliography list at last. Some people say that you can delay writing the introduction and the abstract to the end when you have finished your papers as you will be able to write a good introduction for your work. Choose a good style for writing which could be APA or MLA style, usually it is better to double space your writing from choosing the double spacing option from the format list in Word program. Do not write many things n the introduction but summarize your ideas and organize them then present for your work and explain if there are chapters and the numbers of chapters in your research. Do not write in the paper you are supposed to present but in a draft paper. Choose a good writing format which is usually Arial or Times New Roman 12 or 14. Titling your research is a very important point so choose a good title which is a step that could be also delayed when you finish but I think it is better to find a good suitable title and subtitles before writing. Begin writing the draft from the sources you chose and remember to paraphrase and summarize using your own language as much as possible or you can put the copied text in quotation marks and refer it to its source as research has ethics such as copyrights and intellectual properties that any researcher has to put in mind while writing a research. Leave margins to let your instructor mark and comment on your work. When you finish writing, you have to edit your work and omit or add whatever you think more suitable and proper. Be careful as some researches need to be written in a specific number of words or pages assigned by the teachers. Correct errors of spelling and grammar as much as possible and then write a good conclusion that summarizes what you have done with some own views as well as some critical points and a future look of yours. Remember to reference your work with adding any suitable bibliography you used or read fast about the research topic. Be accurate and present your paper in a time prior to the specified deadline in order to do any asked modifications by your teacher. 

Nurses Role in hospitals

Nurses play great roles in hospitals as no hospital can do without them. They are the main tools that are motivated towards achieving hospitals' competitive advantage as well as patients' better outcomes. Any hospital that seeks promotion, good reputation and a high rank among other hospitals must give great care to nurses at first. A nurse is a hospital mirror; she has to be clean, neat, tidy, and polite. She must be conducted, hard worker, accurate, dutiful, faithful and acknowledgeable. Supervision on nurses must be periodically by specialists who are able to assess and evaluate nurses' performance and level of professionalism well. The assessment process depends on main stages and the first step to be done after assessing the nurses' performance is their training. Nurses' training can be done at any time of the day according to the time schedule of their work. Nurses are divided into groups of levels. Professionals are those who have to provide nurses of all levels with the needed training. Training must include specific professional side as well as the administrative sides. Educating nurses is essential as they have to be acquainted with all updates, latest technology and all relevant information about diseases, prevention and pain management besides teaching them how to deal with chronic diseases patients. Working within a multidisciplinary team is important for nurses who can learn and get more experiences from all members of the team. A multidisciplinary team which consists of physicians, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, pharmacists and nurses can share experiences and knowledge about diseases, patients and updated technologies and methodologies to cure or reduce illness and achieve better outcomes which is a goal that all hospitals seek and work for. Nurses role in hospitals is not less important than anyone's role yet more crucial and effective. A patient spends more time with nurses than with doctors or relatives of the patient. Nervous stressed busy nurses usually lead patients to retard and bring bad reputation for the hospitals they are working in. It is important to give nurses organized work schedules that help them overcome the work environment obstacles which may limit their positive activities while doing their interventions for their patients. A nurse role is far from giving medicine to the patients or following their medical status, it is a vital and basic factor of success that improves patients' quality of life as well as improving the hospital level of performance.
