Leadership in Health Care Organizations Practicum - Coursework Example

Nursing Leadership in Health Care Organizations Practicum Being a part of health organization, we as nurses face multiple critical situations with patients, periodically. Likewise, one day an emergency case hit in our organization in which the patient was detected to endure the primary symptoms of small pox. Small pox is one of the dangerous diseases, which have been banished and under controlled by most of the nations. The leader of my group agreed too with the discovery of small pox in the patient.

Our leader gave us the procedure of precautions and treatment, to exercise over the patient. Especial disease control team also headed towards our organization after knowing about small pox. Our entire organization was sealed in a way for the safety precaution purpose. Along with my team, especial health team was also overlooking the patient’s case. We were either prohibited to approach the patient unnecessarily. When I and my team went to give the initial treatment to the patient, then I examine that it might not be small pox.

I immediately inform my leader to run some blood tests, before beginning the small pox precaution treatment. My leader humiliated me, and disagreed. Patient’s condition was not getting better with the given treatment. His condition was getting more critical. I hardly managed to conduct some tests of patient, to come up with a proof. I presented the tests result to my leader with a proof that, it is some other skin allergy containing identical signs of small pox. I asked my leader to agree with my observation, trust and stop the wrong medical treatment.

On getting the patient worst, my leader eventually gave importance to my evaluation and made the especial health control team to cope up with me. As soon as the treatment given to the patient was replaced, it confirmed the misjudgment of small pox taken by my leader. Patient’s overall condition got stable and in control. Patient had some other skin disease, which was absolutely treatable. I was glad that my leader put down his stubbornness for a while, by giving the significance to my experience so far.

That was the time, I really felt myself well acknowledged and educated in my working field. Leader can’t always be right. Sometimes the situations come across, which could probably mislead a leader’s examination over his team members. By doing the right thing at the right time, we as a team were successful in saving the life of our patient. Our organization was unsealed, and the inside working was switch onto usual. The outcome which can be taken by this experience is that, humility is connected with the servant leadership.

We as the servants, deals the patient with more self-interest and care both professionally and personally. Servant leadership comprises the factors of one’s primary motivation in serving and helping others. Similarly, the step of my leader towards the servant leadership proved its significance. The situation of diagnosing small pox was getting out of controlled, and later came in control with the execution of fine servant leadership. For the first time I felt proud of myself that, I and my experience exists too.
