This is Claire talking (Marie’s daughter, and co-editor of this site), checking in with you on this celebratory day!
I know Marie values each and every one of you, and loves hearing from you and having conversations with you – whether in person, in various professional / civic roles, on social media, here on the blog.
And so today on her birthday, I wanted to formally welcome you all back to this blog.
In the last few months, we’ve started to get active again — exploring various kinds of posts with a multitude of topics including Nursing: it’s history, challenges, future, best practices, values & inspiration etc.. as well as CHCM activities, Marie’s life (Mosaic), Nursing Salons, the Nursing Peer Support Network, activities at the University of MN School of Nursing, and so on.
If you have a moment today, would love to hear any preferences from you about types of content, questions you have for Marie, how often you’d like us to post, how you’d like to hear about posts, and anything else to make this blog a win-win.
We never know how long any of us have here. Marie is the epitome of taking care of herself, taking responsibility for her health and well-being, and we hope to have years and years yet. In any case, the more conversations she can fit engage in, the better!
Oh, one more thing- Happy Birthday Marie!
Thanks much for your participation.
Position Statement on Substance Use Disorder: Great Step Forward! July 8, 2017

Impaired Nurses Benefit from Alternative-to-Discipline Approach
Nursing organizations advocate for rehabilitating rather than punishing nurses experiencing substance use disorder.
The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists is endorsing a new position statement that advocates for an alternative-to-discipline approach for nurses and nursing students with substance use disorder.
The position statement Substance Use Among Nurses and Nursing Students, co-authored by the International Nurses Society of Addictions and the Emergency Nurses Association calls for an alternative-to-discipline approach with the stated goals of:
- Retention
- Rehabilitation
- Re-entry into safe, professional practice
The position statement also says drug diversion for personal use should be considered a symptom of a serious but treatable disorder rather than strictly as a crime.
“It’s about education for prevention and fair handling when it happens,” says Lynn Reede, DNP, MBA, CRNA, FNAP, AANA senior director of professional practice. “Education raises awareness and understanding, and at the same time decreases the stigma related to the disease. Treatment of substance use disorder helps keep patients and healthcare professionals safe.”
Recovery is the Goal
A disciplinary approach to impaired practice or drug diversion involves due process with a state board of nursing and suspension or revocation of a nurse’s professional license. There is no offer of a recovery program and the nurse may be terminated and legal charges can be filed.
Through an alternative-to-discipline program, a nurse does not practice for a specific time while undergoing treatment and establishing sobriety and recovery program. He or she may undergo psychiatric evaluations, specialized treatment like one-to-one therapy and support groups, and random drug screens. A return-to-work agreement is created and often involves a reduction in hours, limited shifts, and restrictions in assignments with continued treatment and monitoring for periods of up to three to five years. Restrictions are lifted as the nurse demonstrates he or she is making progress.
Alternative-to-discipline programs make it easier for impaired nurses, including nurse anesthetists, to step away from work while they receive treatment, says the AANA in a news release.
“An ATD approach gives Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and student registered nurse anesthetists three opportunities: 1) To enter treatment to address their addiction, 2) To work toward lifelong sobriety, and 3) When possible, their eventual return to the workplace,” says Linda Stone, DNP, CRNA, chair of the AANA peer assistance advisors committee.
*****
Response from Marie: This position statement is also included as a position statement of the American Nurses Association.
In our work creating and building the Nursing Peer Support Network (NPSN) in Minnesota, I believe the position taken here is vitally important. Within the culture of nursing, there are negative attitudes toward addictions which act as a disincentive to get help when the person with the addiction is a nurse. One large piece of the problem is the lack of education for student nurses to understand the heightened risks and extreme consequences experienced when a nurse becomes an addict. The incidence with nursing is now thought to be one in seven!!! Fortunately, the U of M SON has developed a curriculum module that DOES present important information about the RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ADDICTION IN NURSING. See our earlier post here for more information about that exciting curriculum addition!
For more information on NPSN go to the website www. npsn.org/mn
It’s great to be part of this point in time, moving forward together on this important issue!

Collective process and action were the agenda for this amazing day!
Robin Youngson started off the day leading a session around the impact of compassion on the healing process. He shared compelling scientific data on that impact, driving home the point that compassion GREATLY impacts healing. It is hard to imagine any justification for not being intentionally compassionate. It does not involve the use of time….just the use of heart and brain.
Another powerful event was an inter-professional conversation of young clinicians on their work and their ideas about a better future for health care. This was a ‘fishbowl’ type of event where they sat in the middle of the room on a raised dias, with the audience sitting around them…..listening to their conversation. A stunning event….there is so much to learn from each other.
Culminating today’s events, David Cooperrider explained the well-known Appreciative Inquiry (AI) methodology; and utilized that to lead participants through a synergistic process that focused on what people do right – instead of focusing just on problems.
Conference participants continually comment on the magnificence of this conference, how it is changing the way they feel and think and how grateful they are to be able to attend.

Today is the first official day of the 2017 International Relationship-Based Care Symposium, here in Minneapolis at the Hilton Minneapolis! Read on for notes, hand-out links and inside peeks into Day 2.
The MusicParadigm experience made a huge impression on me when I first took it in, several years ago. I told everyone I talked to about it for weeks! It is such a unique, substantively clear demonstration of the clear power of positive leadership. If you are experiencing it with us today, I would love to hear what you think of it! Otherwise I hope you catch it as soon as you’re able.
I’ve written about The James previously on this blog – along with UC-Davis they hold a pre-eminent position in US critical care health care systems for their extensive and inspired implementation of Relationship-Based Care.
1.Hosp, 6.Doors, 60.Wards – Such an amazing presentation, from a multi-site hospital in Italian-speaking Switzerland; implementing Relationship-Based Care – escaping silo’s and nurturing compassionate care.
Theory without Practice is empty and Practice without Theory is Blind – Emmanuel Kant
Next was a presentation from the CNO and the CMO about how they’re partnering at Pennsylvania Hospital, and creating an extraordinarily healthy culture there. The day ended with a delightful vocal experience of Full Voice lead byBarbara McAfee!

Today is the pre-conference afternoon of the 2017 International Relationship-Based Care Symposium, here in Minneapolis at the Hilton Minneapolis!
Here are links to the handout materials available at this time:
It’s been great already to have a brunch at my home – to which I invited international guests, several local nursing leaders and CHCM consultants. Conversations ranged over various topics including comparisons between people’s situations in different countries.
The conference itself is a very enthusiastic experience! I have been constantly in motion and it’s wonderful. Everyone is very happy to be here and many are saying ‘this is exactly what we need at our hospital!’
This afternoon I was able to be a surprise guest at the Daisy Foundation session. I spoke about the the impact of Florence Marie Fisher coloring in my coloring book, and also what a wonderful thing it was for me to be able to nominate her for the DAISY award. In closing I brought in Florence Nightingale as well.
I enjoy talking about the power of nursing: as I experienced in my lifetime the impact of my nurse when I was five years old. I like to make it clear that the work that I’ve been involved in leading is directly the result of Florence Marie Fisher coloring in my coloring book.
I don’t think that that concept can possibly be emphasized too strongly: the power of good nursing care!
Much more to come, looking forward to sharing it with all of you!

In my career as change leader, I have constantly paid attention to what worked – and done more of that.
I’ve paid attention to what didn’t work – and tried to avoid that in the future.
A tactic for change that I’ve long been aware of is reaching outside the bounds of one’s own work area, and making connections with people who do different kinds of work. Finding common values and shared tactics with those people whose work is different from mine. Learning from their perspective on these shared values has been invaluable.
Oftentimes people in other areas have already invented this or that wheel, that I can use to get where I’m going faster (without having to invent it myself).
Much of the literature I’ve absorbed and learned from is written for a non-nursing audience – it was written for general business usually. Or sometimes was from other areas of the health care industry.
By reaching across the distance and making connections with others who share our goals, the work we can achieve together increases exponentially.
The CHCM International Relationship-Based Care Symposium will be that process, an accredited program curated specifically for leaders who want to achieve all they can in their careers.
We hope all of you attend who are able, and for those of you who can’t we will make available the materials and information as possible. It won’t be sufficient to create the experience and the relationships gained by attending, but we’d like to expand the positive outcomes in all ways possible!
Stay tuned, and if you have been able to see your way clear to attend just recently – it’s not too late to sign up!

Memorial Day Remembrance: Nurses Serving! May 29, 2017

Wartime nursing is unique, but also those periods in history tend to have an outsize effect on peacetime nursing as well. During World War II for example, huge changes took place. No one wants war, but we can honor those who served. I personally find this period fascinating, and with my work with the Heritage committee at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing’s Alumni Society, have been able to delve into it with great delight. Here are a few notes on some of what took place then, creating our present moment today.
As of 1943 the US Public Health Service had already funneled $ 5.7 m into nursing education, to stem the inevitable shortage of nurses, even as they knew that amount would be insufficient.
So Frances Payne Bolton, US Rep from Ohio, set in motion the Cadet Nurse Corps which was signed in to law that year. Under that program $150m was dispersed for scholarships and direct stipends – uniformly across the country, without regard for race and ethnicity, to all nursing schools.
Not only did this result in a massive surge of paramilitary recruits (targets were met every year), but nursing schools themselves radically transformed. The program was terminated in 1948, but by then 124,000 women had been enrolled, and nursing schools – especially those serving non-white populations – took huge steps forward in the condition of their facilities and equipment.
Here in Minnesota, Katherine J. Densford, Director of Nursing at the U of Minnesota, was another leader active during that period, serving as president of the American Nurses Association among other positions. She worked closely with Payne Bolton and Roosevelt to help supply nurses to the front lines – the University of Minnesota School of Nursing educated 10% of all US Cadet nurses educated during that period.
Densford also determined that the lag time between when nurses completed the recruitment application and when they were actually inducted actually took 6-8 months initially. She spear-headed efforts to reduce the bureaucratic tangle and as a result that lag time was reduced down to only 4-6 weeks!
A much needed -addition to the Powell Hall nurses dormitory was built at the University of Minnesota with Cadet Funds, and this is where I had my office while Primary Nursing was being created.
Another tidbit I wanted to share: May 1944, the national induction ceremony was held in DC, and it was for all nurses being inducted around the country, and so it was broadcast nationally on the radio. KSTP carried in the Twin Cities. Thousands of nurses attended the induction in Minnesota at the Northrop auditorium. The program included a song composed for the occasion, sung by Bing Crosby.
The ‘snappy’ nurse cadet uniform was actually created by Edith Heard – a famous Hollywood costume designer. Wearing this uniform gave Cadet nurses the same ‘perks’ given to military men and women….like free admission to movies!
This bold initiative was a vital part of the war effort, serving both the military and civilian hospital needs. This memorial day is a good time to remember the dedicated nurses who saved the lives of soldiers on the battle field.
