Abstract
The project problem states, “How can nurses provide additional support for elderly patients when their main concerns revolve around the home as a place of fear for their return?” Due to the nature of the nursing workload in the hospital setting, discharge planning tends to be pushed aside due to other priorities. However, it is important that as much as patients are cared for in the inpatient setting, they also need proper preparations for their home setting. The project’s purpose is to provide assistance for nurses and develop a nursing resource guide with regards to important points needed in discharge planning. Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Deficit nursing theory (Orem, 1991; Orem et al., 2003) is utilized as the theoretical framework for the project. Five content experts will review the resource guide for content validity.

Abstract (Educational Projects)
Nursing Resource Team (NRT) staff nurses rotate throughout various clinical units within health care facilities and organizations to meet nurse staffing needs and to alleviate the burden of nurses working understaffed. Because of the nature of their job, NRT staff nurses often encounter profound job challenges. The purpose of this project was to develop an interview schedule to assist NRT nurse managers in exploring factors viewed as important by NRT staff nurses regarding job satisfaction, efficiency, productivity, and retention. Kanter’s (1977, 1993) Structural Theory of Organizational Behavior and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (1987) were utilized as theoretical frameworks. Five content experts voluntarily participated in the review of the NRT interview schedule for content validity.
