walden nur6023 week 1 discussion

To prepare:

· Review the information related to planning and decision making in health care organizations presented in the textbook, Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application.Consider how planning and decision making relate to an organization’s mission, vision, and values, as well as its culture and its climate.

· Familiarize yourself with the mission, vision, and values of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Consider how the statements and actions of leaders and others within the organization support or demonstrate the organizational mission, vision, and values. In addition, note any apparent discrepancies between word and deed. Think about how this translates into expectations for direct service providers. Note any data or artifacts that seem to indicate whether behaviors within the organization are congruent with its mission, vision, and values.

· Begin to examine and reflect on the culture and climate of the organization. How do culture and climate differ?

· Why is it important for you, as a master’s-prepared nurse leader, to be cognizant of these matters?

By Day 3

Posta description of your selected organization’s mission, vision, and values. Describe relevant data, or artifacts, words, and actions of leaders and others in the organization that support, or perhaps appear to contradict the organization’s mission, vision, and values statement. In addition, discuss the organization’s culture and its climate, differentiating between the two. Explain why examining these matters is significant to your role as a nurse leader.
