Sleeping, waking, bathing -- we want to live according to our own daily life rhythms.
This workshop is designed for nurses who believe that residents should be able to continue to direct their own lives while living in a nursing home. Changing nursing systems from the traditional nursing home model to a resident-directed model benefits not only residents, but also the people that provide care.

To prepare nurses to be effective leaders in a Culture Change community
OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants should be able to:
-
Discuss the evolution of nursing homes from the early 1900”s to the present.
-
List at least three competencies a nurse should have to be effective in a culture change community.
