IMPLICATIONS TO NURSING PRACTICE
As nurses practicing in the field, it is
very common for nurses to take on different roles. One of the common roles
taken by the nurse practitioner is the leadership role which is one of the
topics discussed in the CASAGRA Transformative Leadership Model by Sr. Carolina
S. Agravante. In our shifts, it is important that one of the nurses will take
on the lead, in our institution, it is the charge nurse who takes on this role.
The charge nurse will serve as the captain of the ship, so it is vital that he
or she take on the job with outmost care and compassion. While the charge nurse
mainly serves leadership functions, there are times that they also become
educators, especially to young nurses who are just starting their careers. The
servant-leader formula can be a useful tool to charge nurses as this will
enable them to become leaders and educators while following the footsteps of
our Lord, Jesus Christ. Shifts are unpredictable; it can be easy in the early
hours but they can become toxic as the hours progress. It is important for the charge
nurse to keep his vibrant care complex in check, aspiring other nurses to lead
and serving the others to lead selflessly just like the way Jesus did.
