An Analysis of Robust Workforce Scheduling Models for a Nurse Rostering Problem
Disruptions impacting workforce schedules can be costly. A 1999 study of the United Kingdom's National Health Service estimated that as much as four percent of the total resources spent on staffing were lost to schedule disruptions like absenteeism. Although disruptions can not be eliminated, workforce schedules can be improved to be more responsive to disruptions. One key area of study that has expanded over the past few years is the application of traditional scheduling techniques to re-rostering problems. These efforts have provided methods for responding to schedule disruptions, but typically require deviations to the disrupted schedule. This thesis examines five workforce scheduling models designed for a nurse rostering problem. Each model is designed to produce a robust workforce schedule that remains valid in the midst of disruptions and requires no schedule deviations. Each model is evaluated based on the number of disruptions it can receive before becoming invalid.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Nursing Leadership in Air Force Theater Hospitals
In 1987 the United States Air Force (USAF) had 119 medical treatment facilities (MTFs)-81 with inpatient capabilities. Today, the USAF has 74 MTFs with just 14 inpatient facilities world-wide. This 83% reduction of inpatient facilities during the past 20 years and the focus on outpatient care has produced fewer nursing leaders with the requisite knowledge, education, training and experience required to lead theater hospital nursing operations. This is a critical because the skills nurses need for deployment are honed in hospital environment. The purpose of this paper is to justify the need to add a colonel chief nurse (CN) requirement to the EMEDS manpower detail based on three underlying principles. First, USAF and civilian guidance require a CN to lead nursing operations. Second, the doctrine that drove EMEDS development has significantly changed over the past ten years. The linear battlefield no longer exists, casualty flows have changed and joint operations require theater hospitals to have consistent capabilities regardless of service-origin. Third, colonel CNs are authorized in all but one USAF hospital and are best prepared to lead nursing operations in theater hospitals. This paper offers an operationally-based, standards-driven justification for deploying the best-prepared nursing leaders to lead nursing operations in USAF theater hospitals. It concludes with a recommendation to add the CN requirement to the EMEDS unit type code along with additional recommendations on how to better administratively and operationally prepare CNs for deployment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Building Adaptive Nurse Leaders for Future Army Full Spectrum Operations
The Army Nurse Corps life cycle model outlines major milestones that are required, expected, or recommended to be achieved for career success and to prepare Army Nurses to become senior leaders in the Army Medical Department. It is important to ensure Army nurses will be prepared to function in the uncertain current and future full spectrum operational environment. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the Army Nurse Corps Life Cycle Model and avenues within the model to determine specific aspects of education and developmental experiences that will assist in developing Army Nurse Corps officers to become adaptive senior nurse leaders. Fifteen interviews were conducted of senior Army Nurse Corps officers to find common themes on what specific aspect of education and developmental experiences need to be incorporated into the Army Nurse Corps lifecycle model. Purposive sampling was used to ensure a sample population with a variety of experiences to include deployments, recruiting, command and joint operational assignments. Results indicated major themes in areas of improvement such as military education, field experience, renewed focus of medical surgical bedside nurse care for junior officers and the need to create two tracks for the life cycle model to ensure equal opportunity of advancement for both expert clinicians and administrative leaders.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Attrition of Army Nurse Corps Officers
Nursing shortage has been a challenge for the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. Currently, it is short of its budgeted end strength and continues to have an increasing number of nurses leaving the Army. Additionally, the US Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) and the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) are facing a challenge in meeting their recruitment goals. This research studied the factors that influenced the attrition of nurses in the Army. Additionally, it examined the correlation of the current deployment, increased OPTEMPO, the civilian nursing shortage and the influence of pay and benefits to recruitment and retention of Army nurses. Furthermore, analysis was conducted on what senior Army Nurse Corps leadership can do to prevent the attrition and to increase recruitment of nurses in the Army. In a survey of Army Nurse Corps officers that recently left active duty, more than 70 percent of the respondents stated they originally intended to stay in the military past their initial obligation. The analysis indicates that there is a direct relationship between deployments, increased OPTEMPO, limited and/or lack of incentive pay and special bonus, lack of compensation for extra hours work, civilian nursing shortage and the attrition of Army Nurse Corps officers. Senior nursing leadership must invest time and effort to teach, coach, mentor and understand junior officers because they can influence the young officers to accept Army goals, mores and objectives, and eventually yield to a greater sense of belonging and acceptance in the organization.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Dead Babies and Seaside Towns
When Alice Jolly's second child was stillborn and all subsequent attempts to have another baby failed, she began to consider every possible option, no matter how unorthodox. Shot through with humour and full of hope, Dead Babies and Seaside Towns is an intensely personal account of the search for an alternative way to create a family. As she battles through miscarriage, IVF, and failed adoption attempts, Alice finds comfort in the faded charm of Britain's crumbling seaside towns. The journey ultimately leads her and her husband to a small town in Minnesota, and to two remarkable women who offer to make the impossible possible. In this beautifully written book, Alice Jolly describes with a novelist's skill the events that many others have lived through--even if they may feel compelled to keep them hidden. Her decision not to hide but to share them, without a trace of self-pity, turns Dead Babies and Seaside Towns into a universal story: one that begins in tragedy but ends in joy.

Debrief
What if true strength in healthcare isn't just about skill or knowledge, but who you are when it matters most?Heart over ego. Presence over perfection. The courage to keep showing up.We are taught that nurses must remain calm under pressure, offer endless compassion, and always be ready to help. But what happens when this responsibility becomes too heavy to bear alone-when you're in the middle of a code and everyone looks to you for answers you're not sure you have?Debrief is a deeply personal and unfiltered account of life in the emergency department, told through the eyes of nurse Stephanee Beggs. From her earliest days as a new graduate to her experiences as a staff and travel nurse, Beggs takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most intense corners of healthcare.This raw and honest memoir explores what it truly means to advocate for patients-while simultaneously learning to advocate for yourself. With powerful storytelling and hard-won insight, Beggs reveals the emotional weight of emergency nursing: the profound losses, the quiet victories, the unspoken culture of "nurses eat their young," and the quest to find your voice in a system that doesn't always listen. Unpacking her experiences with authenticity and intention, she searches for each moment's deeper lesson.At its core, Debrief is about dissecting what shapes you-those defining moments that make you who you are as a professional and a person.The debrief: the pause often overlooked after a traumatic shift. This book is that debrief-the one we rarely receive but have always needed.
