Course Description: With the professional knowledge and extended contact necessary to recognize a patient’s care needs, the RN is uniquely positioned to ensure that those needs are met. For this reason, patient advocacy is essential to the RN mission of patient care. How can nurses’ relationships to their employer and to each other be structured to enable them to fulfill this mission, representing the best interests of patients within the institution and in its larger social context as well? What are the implications of labor-management partnerships for the nursing profession? This class will introduce participants to a variety of models of employment relations and explore their implications for patient advocacy.
