NCNA - Nurses Transforming Nursing Forums - 1/29/2009-3/9/2009

Published

Specializes in Gerontological, cardiac, med-surg, peds.

NCNA will host four forums around the state in the coming year as part of a Nurses Transforming Nursing Campaign. Each forum will welcome professionals and consumers and provide an opportunity for feedback about the nursing industry in NC.

Within each forum, nurse participants will learn how to use Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a tool to create the preferred future for nursing care delivery in North Carolina.

AI promotes change through creative dialogue, excitement and a focus on what works versus problem identification. Consumer participants will have an opportunity to share when they had a positive experience with nursing care and their hopes for the future in health care delivery.

Each nurse will be a “Discovery Agent” and spark provocative discussion with prompters like:

  • Describe a peak nursing experience when you felt exceptionally high levels of energy, confidence, and satisfaction being a nurse.
  • What makes nursing in your practice setting exceptional?
  • If you could change the culture of nursing in NC, what would it look like in 2011?
  • What type of relationships among nurses and others would promote a transformed nursing culture?
