Case Study 1 ( Nurses have the right to freely and openly advocate for themselves and their patients, without fear of retribution) For example, if there was a problem at your place of employment with patient safety such as falls and increased decubiti’s ulcers because patients were not being turned. The last time you brought a problem to the nurse manager you did not get the days off you asked for. Also, you were written upon one occasion for insubordination. You are in fear of retribution if you say something to the nurse manager about the problems. As a nurse how would you advocate for the patients? In this situation how might a nurse use the Bill of Rights to work through this problem at work? Case Study 2 ( Nurses have the right to fair compensation for their work, consistent with their educational preparation, knowledge, experience and professional responsibilities) As a nurse you have 20 years of experience and has been employed with the hospital for 15 years. You find out that the newly employed novice nurses are making the same rate of pay that you are making. You have trained one of the nurses and they were promoted to a team leader position and now you must report to him. As a nurse how would you approach to discuss this issue? After the discussion you were not happy with the outcome, what would you do next? In this situation, how might a nurse use the Bill of Rights to work through this problem at work? Case Study 3 ( Nurses have the right to a work environment that is safe for themselves and their patients) For example, when you reported working and it was your turn to float to another unit, but when you arrived on the unit and during the report, you found out you were assigned to a patient that has a tracheostomy and a g-tube. Also, per report from the day shift nurse, the patient needed frequent suctioning and the respiratory therapist was not always available because high patient assignment. You were never trained or experienced to take care of a patient with a tracheostomy or g-tube. It was an unfair assignment because the acuity was high. You brought this to the charge nurse attention, but she refused to change the assignment. As a nurse, what measures would you take to protect yourself and the patients? In this situation how might a nurse use the Bill of Rights to work through this problem at work? Case Study 4 ( Nurses have the right to negotiate the conditions of their employment, either as individuals or collectively, in all practice settings) For instance, at your place of employment, most of the nurses are very unhappy with wages, work schedules, benefits and the nurse-to-patient ratios. As a nurse, how would you approach management? What if the outcome was unfavorable, would you consider reaching out to a labor union for assistance to help change the unfavorable environment, why or why not? What if you were already a part of a union and it is time for contract negotiations and the majority of the nurses voted to strike, but you were happy with the new contract and did not want to strike. The only option would be to resign from the union in order to work. Would you cross the picket line or support your fellow coworkers and strike? As a nurse what would you do?
