We have increasing awareness of the multiple deficiencies in the U.S. medical system, particularly in hospitals. Here with an inside look at efforts to solve this, is Dianna Goodwin, a registered nurse with 28 years of varied experience. Speaking as a manager, she shares her experience in providing the best possible support for nurses in terms of training on all levels.

Dianna emphasizes the importance of having a mix of new and experienced nurses. New nurses need mentoring, and too many in need of this assistance place a burden on available resources.

Nurses especially need training in high-risk, low-frequency procedures, which can occur in any area of the hospital. Dianne explains that any nurse who hasn’t done such procedures in a long time may need supervision.

Dianne pays particular attention to the need for nurses to understand the chain of command and how to work within it when they feel a doctor has given them an inappropriate instruction. She illustrates this principle with a detailed and fascinating story about an incident where she had to intervene to support a nurse who needed to challenge a doctor’s instruction.

LNCs and clinical nurses alike will appreciate this opportunity from the point of both professional conduct and the liability issues that arise with incorrect instructions.
