Welcome to NEXT-ANL
My name is Devon and I write for next-gen academic nursing leaders (ANLs) interested in creating next-era academic nursing.
Improving Operations - The Prep
Once a nursing education organization sees the connection between operations and delivery on mission, it will naturally develop an appetite for improving operations. When that appetite is established, the difference between those who get nourished and those who go hungry will come down to careful planning and preparation. Read on for three fundamentals steps you should take before embarking on a journey to leverage operations for the excellence, effectiveness, and efficiency of your academic organization.
Observing Operations
Learning to observe operations in a nursing education organization (NEO) requires skill. We must learn to see our NEO’s in terms of the tangle of processes, structures, and systems that they are. It is like learning to see in the dark. These three tactics can get you started.
Overlooking Operations
Take some time to reflect on the condition of your nursing education organization. It is as great as it can be? If not, consider that you might be swimming in the reason why: Your operations have been overlooked.
Operating Without Operations
Being in the business of delivering nursing education (or any of our other missions) is no longer a Mom & Pop proposition.
