For the nurse to be successful the initial step is to consider all the factors that might cause resistance to change and to involve those who might be willing to help champion a change.Once this has been done,the team can design strategies to improve the process.The nurse cannot just start using a new process on individual patients.Developing a better method is needed,but only after some work has been done to identify support.Without a plan to create the change,informing the charge nurse of how this can be done better is likely to fail.
