Expert Nurse Delegation Skills: Teamwork at the Bedside (1 Hour)

The goal of this next 1 hour CE course that I took was to "gain knowledge and skills that will help improve RN leadership skills and teamwork at the bedside, ultimately resulting in optimal patient/family outcomes and staff satisfaction". I really like the idea of this course because it explores leadership at the bedside. This type of leadership is just as important if not more important then leadership in management. This course explored different causes of delegation deficit in the clinical setting. They really tried to reinforce that "complex critical thinking leadership skills requires both education and application". I love that. It takes education and application to truly develop leadership skills. The course also touched on the Five Rights of delegation. These five rights include right circumstance, right person, right task, right direction, and right supervision/feedback. These five rights are crucial in successfully delegating care. This course gave some great suggestions to being a better leader and delegator at the bedside as care as administered to the patient.
