Interventions Two approaches of cost out nursing services and acuity classification system proposed by Murray (2014) were presumed to be the most applicable after looking at many possible interventions. Nurse managers who focused on the individual needs and strive to meet those needs are more likely to retain their staff. A transactional leadership approach will work best under such circumstances because he or she can survey the nurses’ needs for a higher pay then set goals for them based on the expected performance (Huber, 2014). With appropriate protocols provided, nurses can demonstrate fiscal responsibility to help reduce costs such as using sterile packages efficiently. To articulate a definite need for change, Rogers (2003)†¦show more content†¦The second step in Rogers change model was for the nurse manager to persuade his or her nurses to form an attitude toward the innovation by having them participate in staff meetings. During these meetings, the nurse manager will discuss what is the expected performance to achieve the higher salary and other benefits as desired. The nurses will then follow the plan accordingly.

The manager is must strive to involve all the nurses on the unit in any decision-making process and shares responsibility with the team.

Additionally, the nurse managers and staff should consider the differences among th e four different generational groups in the workplace (Workman, 2014). Each generation has its preference and perspective that must be taken into consideration during planning and decision-making processes. Nurses are obligated to document for each patient her length of stay, hours of care provided, and all of the interventions mentioned above.
