(Nursing profession studied) This is clearly not very high, and there does not seem to be a high impact of the change in technology on nurses and their employment.
This leads to a dichotomy in the view about nurses - they are viewed as targets of change rather than the force which leads to changes through proposals, leadership and implementation. This often causes them difficulty in carrying on with their jobs when there are rapid changes within the organization. To save their own position, it is important that nurses learn about change theory, change strategies and methods of anticipation and managing change. This may take place in organizations which wants to change its staff mix so that it can save on costs through inclusion of more unlicensed assistive personnel. These personnel will generally try to maintain their position through direct assertion, but there have to be an analysis of the driving and restraining forces before any decision is finally taken. (The Power of Change)
The driving reasons for the proposed change may be an increase in patient care hours that the hospital has to face, decreased charges that can be levied, elimination of non-professional tasks that are carried out by the registered nurses and additional time that has to be spent by them for teaching patients and their families.

These generally lead to a halt to the entire process till the conflicts are resolved. This is also the situation when the process of education and usage of technology among nurses start in any organization.
In general the policy adopted is to have a strategy of re-education so that creativity is stimulated and resistance is reduced. At the same time, the process involves more time for the change and a resultant higher cost. In a certain instance this situation was faced by two nurse managers. One of them adopted a policy of directly telling the staff about the change and the positive effects the change will bring within the organization. The feelings of the staff were not taken care of and this resulted in a near rebellion of the staff when the implementation dates and new staffing plans were put up. The entire group wanted to resign. Another manager had the same problem and selected a normative re-educative strategy. When the changes were introduced, he wanted to know from the staff their reactions. The opinions...
