Nurses' experiences of change: a new professional collaboration model and all-R.N. staffing.
Changes in staffing toward a higher number of R.N.'s are common in a number of countries today. This article aims at describing the experiences of a management-induced change from mixed to all-R.N. staffing. All R.N.s in a surgical ward at a Swedish university hospital were interviewed two months after such replacements were completed. The nurses described a period of chaos and conflicts but also of support for the idea and enthusiasm for the future. A more careful planning of the change process is to be recommended.
