Shift nursing: a policy morelock phd, rn, who work on the night shift often reap enhanced financial incentives including higher shift differentials and a generous pay structure.
This investigation will attempt to increase the information on this line of policy research and posit possible solutions to the problem of the fatigued unately, there are no extant policies at the federal, state or local levels that uniformly address nursing as it relates to the identified issues. It is also easier at the state level to introduce small tests of change which can then be evaluated for more widespread application. Before considering a policy which would affect nurses working overnight shifts, it is prudent to consider existing policies and guidelines in other industries in which there are overnight shift workers: nursing and it is tempting to think that night shift workers enjoy enhanced benefits for working overnights, that belief is in error in most states. Nurse practice, to a large extent, are guided by position papers from the individual boards of nursing and individual states’ nurse practice acts.
The following example is from the texas board of nursing which issued a position paper in 2011 which states in part “the nurse has a duty to recognize when he or she is unfit to practice secondary to physical, mental, and or emotional fatigue. Nursing judgment and provision of nursing care may be impaired if a nurse is physically, mentally or emotionally exhausted, which could lead to nursing errors” (texas bon position statement, 2011). Note that unlike the policies governing certain transportation and airline workers, board-issued position statements do not have the force of law and are only recommendations for improving safety in nursing practice. There must be opportunities for front line staff to participate in the research process and to recommend changes and revisions to any proposed policies.
Hospital administration personnel would certainly have strong opinions about any new policy which affects nursing productivity and even nurses in different settings, rural versus urban, might have widely varying ideas about how to implement changes. The final approval would have to come from the board of nursing whose primary task is to protect the older is defined for the purposes of this article are those who have an active and abiding interest in any aspect of the proposed policy including the person(s) who design the policy, state-sponsored health organizations who will be testing and vetting the policy, and the end user who will use the policy to drive other measures that address this group of primary stakeholders are the affected nurses. In order for changes to be effective there must be a groundswell of support for such changes. This should occur at the staff nurse level and they should then drive the change upward and outward.
This type of change can and should be generated at the staff level in order to increase buy in. They are at the recipient end of any change and the effect that the change has on direct on bedside care may prove to be the ultimate arbiter of whether an implemented policy succeeds or als in particular would be sensitive to any policy which might elicit changes in the way work rules are generated or personnel are managed. The second research strategy would be designed to gauge the support of a new policy on frontline nursing staff. The third research strategy must involve hospital administrators and director/managers of the individual nursing units which employ nurses 24 hours a day.
Policy would identify, confirm, and recognize that night shift nursing can, quite literally, be hazardous to one’s health. The policy would require nursing school instruction about night shift nursing and the effects that it can have. This is especially important since at least in the experience of this author, many new registered nurse graduates must initially work the night endations for nursing g organizations on both state and national levels should be paying close attention to this issue and be prepared to mobilize their membership in order to catalyze the policy development process. It is a complex situation, yet must be addressed and managed in a way that does not alienate the nursing base to the extent that no action is g organizations should also be prepared to disseminate the latest peer-reviewed research to their members and be prepared to take a decisive stand on the issues.
They delve into the basics of the subject as well as touch on the many physical and psychological issues that are associated with night shift nursing. This means that for the foreseeable future, nursing staff will be required to work during the overnight hours to ensure the safety and well being of patients.
