1TRANSITIONING FROM LPN/LVN TO BSN1. Improving the culture safety As a staff nurse, the culture of safety can be improved by increasing the vigilance forpotential errors. Relying on the workforce or well-designed work process will not improve thepatient safety. A health care organisation should be committed towards detecting, analysing, andredressing errors whenever they occur. A staff nurse can ensure substantial commitment fromeach of the nurses in the unit to reach the safety culture to its full potential. As a safety nurse,person role in ensuring the culture of safety would be open communication among care workersand involvement of patients in health care decision. It makes patients knowledgeable about theircare. Demonstrating Transcultural nursing leadership skill will assist in avoiding themisunderstandings and miscommunications. Nurses in the unit will be supported to practiceSBAR for effective handoffs. It will further improve communication between and amongclinicians and eliminate medical errors. Patent centred model has been found to stimulate thesafety breaches (Duphily and Nancy, pp. 99). To promote the culture of safety, personalemphasis would be on honesty, integrity, mutual respect, accountability, and excellence. It isbecause other nurses need to be encouraged to report the near misses, and give valuable feedbackon the weakness in the system. It will help direct attention to the critical safety issues in thehealth care. The rationale for this approach is the code of ethics as well as the need of safetyculture that is non- punitive as recommended by Duphily and Nancy. Personal responsibilitywould be engaging in active listening of patients and nurse’s problems, empower them anddemonstrate the transparency.
