Clinical Leaders And Staff Self-Scheduling Essay 4

A new healthcare manager put some changes into place that would facilitate staff involvement in decisions related to patient care. One of these changes included transitioning to staff self-scheduling, with a few rules that the staff helped develop. One of the rules included that the more senior staff members would have first choice in their schedule. This new schedule process was well received until the holiday schedule started to be created. Negotiation and the importance of supporting each other to ensure everyone had some time with their family over the holidays was not prioritized, unlike in years past. A staff divide developed between the senior and less senior staff members. Senior members would give the less senior members the silent treatment and became noticeably less available to help the less senior members throughout their shifts. The conflict resulted in one staff member leaving work in tears and several others desiring to change floors or leave the hospital completely.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
