This week I will start planning on implementing my change project that was started last semester in Leadership. My plan is to implement the use of safety needles and a needleless system at the hospital in which I do some prn work for. Currently this hospital still uses older style needles and does not use a needleless system more than half the time. There are some nurses that use the new safety systems, but the majority of nurses at this hospital have been there for 20 plus years and hates the newer system. They just do not feel comfortable with it because they are use to using the older style. Many times I cannot even find a safety needle available and am forced to use a needle without a safety feature in place. So, my main goal is to try and get the newer safety system implemented and have the hospital do away with any needle that does not have a safety feature. I think my biggest barrier will be the older nurses who do not like change. This is a very small hometown hosptial and most of the nurses are set in their ways. Hopefully this project will be a succuess!
