Moving Forward
This is where we are: Actively leading nurses through the process of healing and recovery post pandemic alongside helping them find their grounding amidst seemingly relentless waves of change. There are divergent grumblings from all levels of nursing: “when can we get back to normal, the way things used to work” versus “when are we going to finally accept we are irrevocably changed and adapt to our new realities?” These are divergent views. They place us at a critical crossroad for the nursing profession: Go back or move forward.
One thing is clear, this is not the time to shrink back to doing things “they ways the have always been done”. The lure of falling back onto old ways is a known path, straightforward and packaged neatly with an illusion of safety and consistency. We must not squander this window of opportunity to capitalize on our lessons learned. The pain we have borne, has refined us, tested our resiliency. The changes we have made, willingly or not, shaped us to become more aware, adaptable and agile. Yes, it is still messy and imperfect. All transformational changes are. The friction of change is the tactile feedback that it is actually working. We must allow ourselves the permission and security to accept this truth.
We can absolutely emerge stronger and better positioned to lead the future of healthcare. Forward is our best option. It won’t be easy. It won’t be quick. But it will be worth it.
You are the faces of Courage, Grace and Grit.
For April, our own Board Leader Lora Horn has selected Amy Monge BSN, RN as the Leader Highlight. Amy was selected by Lora for her significant role in developing standards, policies, and creating safe environments to provide care to COVID pediatric patients and their families with minimal resources to support the work in addition to her leadership talents over the last five years.
Amy, on behalf of the NWONL Board, congratulations for being selected for the Leader Highlight. You are part of an exceptional league of Nurse Leaders. We are looking forward to supporting your personal and professional leadership advancement!
Thank you Hillsboro Medical Center!

In addition to the renewed members, we welcome new the new Leaders to our Northwestern cadre: We also thank AnneMarie West, Director of Professional Practice for PPMC Nursing for championing Membership for the Providence Leaders in the Portland region.
DNP Completed!
James Reedy, DNP, MBA, MHA, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, has completed doctoral presentation and commission acceptance at University of Pittsburg. In summary, Dr. Reedy's work is a focus on Nursing Leaders readiness for crisis and emergency response. The work endeavors to both understand, position for and make improvements in, the aforementioned. James has provided NWONL members with presentations and insight into the work earlier this year, alas, we look forward to him providing much more!. Congratulations James! This was years of effort and we are very proud to have you as a colleague.
The April Board update focused on Conference Development. You can expect almost all Board Leaders in attendance and also volunteering and guiding at the event, so if you are going to the conference, you will have a chance to meet and engage with Board Leaders face to face. As for the Conference - spread the word. They note, since this is a smaller event, and we are nearly half booked already, put a sense of urgency for leaders to sign up.
Board Member at-Large - The 2022 by-laws specify that the Board is expected and empowered to appoint several Member-at large board positions. These are reserved and intended to allow peer affiliates to engage with NWONL directly. For example, our own Susan Stacey is our WSHA appointee. Another is Jerome Mendoza, our AONL Regional affiliate. The current Board is working to provide additional representation to Oregon as appointees move on to other endeavors as well as assess our affiliations regionally. More to come!
CNO & Dean Rounding - The Board acknowledges that the Rounding is highly unique. It is the only "meta" level rounding of its type in the region. As such, they endeavor to ensure senior leaders are actively participating. As a senior leader, please try to attend or if you can not, consider appointing one of your leaders to join in your place. There have been many rich discussions on both the academic and clinical side as we alternate the topics monthly and the attendance from organizations across the region outstanding.
Outreach - NWONL Board Leadership approves and will send a representative to the Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education (OCNE) symposium on May 14th (2pm-330pm) at Clackamas Community College. Desi McCue, President-Elect will represent NWONL and engage attendees to both learn from them and to also enlighten them to the Nursing Leadership journey. Thank you Desi!
Valuable and actionable research comes in many forms. Not all is longitudinal, large scale or primary. Often is situational and applied. NWONL Member Leader Sharon Strohecker BSN, RN, of St. Charles is asking peer professionals to assist in her gathering of benchmark data in relation to administration of chemotherapy. From Sharon "We are trying to benchmark, and it would be helpful to know what others are doing. We administer a smaller volume of chemotherapy a month with the average administration rate being 20-25 (per month)." If you are able to respond to the call, click the link below for an email template:

April 20th, 2022: "Evaluating and Improving Clinical Placements in 2022"
Session leader Kyra McCoy, the current President of CNEWS (Council on Nursing Education in Washington State) and Director of Nursing at Edmonds College.
Intro
The session was highly engaging and exceptionally well attended. In the session, Krya facilitated, and the scope of dialog included:
How are new grads doing? What gaps are they seeing that are different from the pre-pandemic students?
How are things going for clinical placement now that the pandemic has slowed down a bit? How are the staff nurses doing in terms of handling the extra burden of students on the unit?
What can faculty do to help make the learning environment better for the students and the staff nurses?
If we could throw out what we have now and completely re-imagine clinical practice education for nursing students- what would that look like?
Creating interest in working as a group to generate solutions.
Overall Sentiment
How are the new grads doing? Overall, the sentiment is “they are doing well, given the situation”. Given a high level of simulation and online learning being a difference from past cohorts, is there a gap? The group reported that no, there are not (clinical) gaps different from the pre-pandemic students. This was a largely shared concern. That is (heavy sim/online) may impact performance in the field. Overall no, not clinically.
Nancy Wiederhold, acknowledged that their new nurse grads are exceptions, especially given the situation they were dropped into. Their resilience is high. Some have struggled but likely would have anyway.
Lora Horn, reports the new grads were able to step-up quickly and were “life savers for staffing”. They (new grads) did challenge leaders up front with requests for environmental changes: specific patterns for handling issues and shifts. Lora added that some of these expectations fit generational norms and they (new grads) are not going to settle for less than an environment in which they feel they can sustain and succeed. Lora noted “this has been a good thing, as they know what they want, to be professional and happy.”
Dana Bjarnson notes that OHSU has the ability to prepare new grads for specialty and they move them directly into these roles immediately, therefore they have not experienced the turnover/churn of some other organizations. Movement does happen but it's to sub-role, adjacent specialties and leadership.
Darcy Jaffe, echoes the response from WSHA, that new grads are technically competent, but they also are requiring staffing and scheduling that is “non standard”.
Clinical Capabilities and Retention
As for clinical skills given the simulation and online focus, there is an impression that the skill level is quite high (surprisingly to some). Albeit the Dean’s in attendance did highlight that the learning content is the same, just the delivery has changed. Feedback from sites is that time management and prioritization is the area of challenge, not the technical-clinical skills.
For retention, the general response is that, for med-surg, they move on quickly. Therefore, an organization must prepare to help them move internally or they will move externally (competitors). This is not just a pay issue. New and younger workforces are demanding different work environments, compared to prior generations. Med-surg is not alone, this however was a salient issue in the med-surg specialty. As a group, the response was agreement. As this (expectations to be professional and happy) has not been the case often many long-standing nurse leaders. They have something to teach us.
Placements and Preceptors
How are things going for clinical placement now that the pandemic has slowed down a bit? Simultaneously, how are the staff nurses doing in terms of handling the extra burden of students on the unit? Kyra noted that given staffing challenges, in general preceptors are also “newer”, how are younger and (potentially) less experienced preceptors performing?
Dana Bjarnson notes that OHSU has an organizational priority on building and supporting preceptors, this helps. To include additional pay and benefits.
Nancy Wiederhold notes the same, that their preceptors are strong, but they do have a limit and can be burned out.
Denise Sartz notes that in addition to a preceptor, a coach is assigned to help students work through initial hurdles (charting, workflow, equipment, meds, related) prior to them being joined with a preceptors.
Cindi Warburton noted that the AONL Conference 2022 showed that across the nation, internal coaching was becoming a strong area of innovation for helping organizations internally by leveraging existing caregiver experiences to help facilitate others.
Linda Campbell noted the coaching model is key. The emphasis is on the individual’s needs: improvement in performance via coaching through orientation, acceptance of a learning curve, and camaraderie to feel like part of the team.
Generalist vs Specialist?
Thirdly, the group was asked: What can faculty do to help make the learning environment better for the students and the staff nurses?
Kyra McCoy brought up the challenge of “generalist” vs “specialist”. Schools can do the former well, the latter is much harder. Part of the challenge is clinical placement for specialty areas.
Nancy Wiederhold added that they are not seeing the number of applicants for non-specialty positions (med-surg primarily) as options for new grads are much wider.
Bevan Briggs noted that from WSU Tri-Cities, many graduates are going straight from school into specialty areas. This is a change from historical norms. Yes there are specialization tracks, but it is a notable change.
Hollie Caldwell, Concordia noted that it (specialty placement) is dependent upon the support they receive during their specialty residency which should include the work experience and didactic content. If they have access to specialties, they will take them.
Denise Sartz notes that it is very hard to recruit into med-surg. They (new grads) are very skilled (considering new grad status) at specialty. However they are worn out on simulation training, as they have had so much already. The identified area of need is confidence and communications skill interpersonally and at the bedside. Denise noted a correlation between confidence and skill with placement (where, who, type).
Hollie Caldwell, Concordia notes increasing the number of nurses who are med-surg certified acting as leaders and preceptors on the unit is important. Med-surg needs to be recognized as a specialty (because it is!) and celebrated by the care system. Basically, med-surg needs a PR campaign.
Ron Woita is experiencing communications challenges with newer grads and that social connection based on technical tools (text, social media, related) is not the same as face to face. Initiating dialog and handling challenging conversations.
Carrie Miller, notes that they are aware of the challenge (in communication) and working to modify simulation by inviting in volunteers to act as family and related during sim to generate face to face interaction.
Re-imagining Clinical Practice Education
If we could throw out what we have now and completely re-imagine clinical practice education for nursing students- what would that look like?
Dana Bjarnson notes that priority to create a welcoming, graceful, experience for both new caregivers and their experienced preceptors and peers must be a priority. A place that welcomes them and supports them. As a standard. Dana notes it’s a formal joint effort (structure) fed by ideas and feedback from those in the roles (students, nurses, leaders, preceptors, instructors). It also requires policy makers and senior leaders and models that we test and evaluate.
Susan Bakewell-Sachs notes the same and acknowledges that now is the time to take what we have learned (over the last several years) and make notable and lasting changes. To include helping them to see, understand and appreciate where they are in the healthcare continuum, as individuals, the populations they serve as well. For organizations, accept that it is different now. For graduates, they will not accept prior norms. For Academic and Practice, this is a shared journey and should be embraced. A partnership.
Sofia Aragon adds, yes and somewhere in the middle of testing and evaluating models and revamping, a focus, and priorities on where we want to improve and where we need to let go.
In Closing
What is next? How do we move forward together to create a shared future? As a group, it was noted that a three-hour summit (for example) with working groups and facilitated structure would be welcomed. Perhaps NWONL can lead in this area as they operate at a meta-level across all systems/organizations. What do you think about a Q4 Rounding Summit for this very purpose? Let us know.

Advance Your Leadership Skills Repertoire
It is one thing to lead from a position of authority within the boundaries of your own organization. Its a completely different skill set to influence and lead others outside your organization and when you have no positional authority. Yet as we move laterally and vertically in our organizations and regions we must master the ability to influence and lead others regardless of their position and organization. The more you advance in your career, the more the need for adaptive leadership skills. You can read about this, even take classes and get mentoring. Ultimately do do it well means you have to put in the time to practice. Consider leveraging NWONL in this journey. Through Council, Commission or even Board Leadership, you have the opportunity to develop and hone your skills outside the boundaries of your position and organization.
Expand Your Professional Presence and Add to Your CV
Do you have something you would like to consider for professional presentation? Are you a Graduate or Doctoral candidate with something to share? Do you or your team have a salient project or program outcomes that are compelling? Do you simply want to increase your skills at public presentation? There is something distinctly unique and valuable from sharing your knowledge outside the confines of your own team, department or organization. It is part of truly gaining perspective, feedback and advancing your practice. NWONL has the capability to support you in these endeavors. Submit your idea/concept/presentation/research for consideration Continuing Education Offering Approval Form. If you have something that you feel is worthy but not directly CE related, that is also an option for you, reach out to us via the Continuing Education Offering form (above) or contact us at admin@nwonl.org. Sharpen your skills, build your CV, trial concepts and ideas and contribute to a vibrant Northwest Nursing Leadership knowledgebase.
Stay Meaningfully Connected and Informed
To move from a distinctly local operations focus to strategic and visionary leadership requires being attuned to what is happening not only in your organization but in your community, state and region. To hack a well worn phrase, no organization is an island... When you make time to join and attend Councils, information and CE events and contribute, you invariable are brought close to what is really impacting your community and region. These affect all of us in the Northwest, large and small. As a Leader, staying attuned to the what, where, why, who and how of your community, state and region is a hallmark of an influential leader.
Acknowledge and Celebrate Peer Leaders
We strive to recognize both the little and big events that mark our careers. They all are important in their own unique ways and ultimately contribute to the legacy we will leave upon our teams. Our primary methods is to both recognize strong leadership formally and make it visible to our members. Each month we seek to acknowledge the advancements and contributions of Member Leaders and affiliates though direct recognition at events and our Newsletter and a Leader Highlight. Leader Highlight and Member Newsletter are finalized the second week of the month for delivery the 3rd week, email us at admin@nwonl.org.

What is Large Group Membership?
It is a simplified registration and renewal process. Organizations submit a list of new or renewing members, we add them and one payment is made for all. In lock-step with AONL, a Large Group Membership discount is also given.Group Members enjoy exactly the same benefits of single Membership in NWONL including: access to webinars, legislative health policy updates, CE opportunities (peer CE is always no additional cost to Members), Council attendance and reference, formal board and committee leadership service potential, research on best practices, first access plus discounts on NWONL’s annual conference, regional and virtual summits and professional development courses. That said, if you EVER have any issues regardless of organization size: contact us immediately
What is Sponsorship?
There are Nurse Leaders in our region that do not have organizational support for Membership, for a variety of reasons and that is understandable. Sponsorship is when Member pays for the membership on another's behalf. Its a unique method for rewarding and promoting others who may not be in a position personally or organizationally to obtain membership. A Member may sponsor one other non-member for a year. The dues are $95 and akin to the privileges of the graduate student level membership. Do you want to assist others in getting connected meaningfully to the Northwest's Premier Nursing Leadership network... this is your lever. Simply email us at admin@nwonl.org and we will get you setup.
Need to reactivate a membership?
We are not sure if you knew this but, there is no penalty for late renewals, your account will simply "time out" and you will go into a dropped-pending reinstatement status. You can pick back up when your able.
Having Issues with reactivating or renewing?
Nurse leaders are exceptionally busy... we certainly don't want to pile on, so email us at admin@nwonl.org and we will take care of it for you ASAP!
Want to renew early?
If you want to pay early, you can do that too, your membership term is extended for a year from its end date. Of note, invoices are generated 30 days prior to renewal.
Re-activate your Membership or Renew
