Critical Thinking Skills for Frontline Nurse Leaders

Charge nurses are on the frontlines, making high-stakes decisions, managing diverse teams, and tackling staff burnout. Our revamped “Critical Thinking Skills for Frontline Nurse Leaders” course targets these challenges head-on, offering cutting-edge training that equips charge nurses with the essential skills to lead and thrive.

Mitigate Burnout

Addressing staff burnout is crucial for maintaining a healthy and efficient unit. This course highlights the application of critical thinking skills — observation, communication, analysis, and inference — to identify and mitigate burnout among staff.

Communication Breakdowns

Communication is a fundamental aspect of critical thinking, especially in nurse leadership. The ability to express ideas clearly, engage in active listening, ask questions, and collaborate all contribute to a charge nurses’ success. This course helps charge nurses:

High-Stress Decision-Making

In complex and high-risk situations, effective decision-making becomes paramount. This course provides charge nurses with the tools to:

Stimulate Positive Outcomes with Supervisory Skills

Your charge nurses wear many hats to ensure unit operations run smoothly. Catalyst Learning’s “Supervisory Skills for Positive Outcomes” course equips charge RNs with the essential skills to communicate confidently, resolve conflicts, and delegate tasks to better manage administrative duties and improve patient care quality!

Reduce Adverse Events

The NCharge program helped me understand more about why I am responsible for printing sheets at midnight about Foley’s and central lines. It made me realize this my part in helping make sure we are monitoring and hopefully reducing the number of hospital acquired infections; this helps reduce costs in the hospital. It was interesting seeing the numbers and how much these infections can cost our hospital.

Promote Supportive Communication

Boost team collaboration and problem-solving through open dialogue exercises for different personality types and practical use of the "Just Culture" shared accountability model.

Master Efficient Delegation

Help charge nurses gain a deeper understanding of the Five Rights of Nursing Delegation to manage tasks and staff more efficiently and increase team productivity.

Leading Change in a Dynamic Climate

The healthcare industry is facing major changes in hospitals due to technology, staffing shortages, and evolving patient expectations. To remain competitive, hospitals must adapt continuously. Catalyst Learning’s course, “Leading Change in a Dynamic Climate,” prepares Charge Nurses and future nurse leaders to lead confidently and support their teams through these transitions.

Decode Team Responses Effectively

Team members react differently to change based on their personalities and previous experiences. Some may resist, while others embrace the change quickly. By helping team members move from frustration or fear to understanding, leaders can ensure a smoother transition and successful adaptation to change.

Master the Transition Curve

The Transition Curve describes the emotional stages individuals go through during significant changes: denial, resistance, exploration, and commitment. Learning to apply this Change Model can quickly identify where their team members are in this process.

Boost Productivity Through Change

The key to leading change effectively involves using strategies that boost staff productivity during each stage of change.
