Team-Building Handbook: Accountability Strategies for Nurses (10 Pack)

Eileen Lavin Dohmann, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BC

Team-Building Handbook: Accountability Strategies for Nurses gives staff members the strategies and framework they need to practice accountability, holding themselves up to the expectations for nursing behavior and standards of professional practice.

This concise, easy-to-read handbook comes in packs of 10 that can be distributed to all staff members.

Team-Building Handbook: Accountability Strategies for Nurses offers nurse managers an indispensable tool to be used to build an environment where accountability is expected and welcomed. Encouraging nursing staff to accept accountability changes a unit where nurses identify problems and complain about them to a culture where nurses are accountable for finding solutions and taking responsibility for their own environment.

This handy training guide can also be used by nursing professional development staff as a training tool for new and experienced staff during orientation and preceptorship programs, as well as in-services.
