NURSS4455 Organizational Analysis–Shadowing Plan

Module 2 Assignment 1

Organizational Analysis–Shadowing Plan

The major assignment for this course is analysis of an organization. You will study and report on its structure, processes, and nurse leaders. To get a glimpse of the roles and responsibilities of a nurse leader, meet with a BSN nurse leader at least two levels above your current position in your organization and request opportunities to observe some of the tasks the nurse leader directs.

If you are unable to observe these tasks you may interview the nurse leader/manager as an alternative. Obviously, there are situations in which you will not be able to observe or participate in meetings or other events or tasks, but you should be able to work with the nurse leader to schedule an interview and at least three specific leadership tasks to discuss.

Complete this assignment to describe which organizational leader you will interview and the plans for the experience. For verification of plans and scheduling, provide contact information of the leader with whom you will be working.

If you are unable to shadow or interview a nurse leader, you may shadow or interview a leader or manager in a non-healthcare related field. You will need to notify your coach.

Objectives

•             Explain how organizations function.

•             Compare and contrast characteristics of leadership and management.

•             Apply trends, issues, theories, and evidence as guidelines for management decisions.
