It is important that both parties in conflict do not adopt compromise prematurely if collaboration is possible and feasible. For example, nurse Stacy wants to switch shifts with another nurse due to a last minute prior commitment. The other nurse Linda will only take that other Stacy's shift if she also works on another shift where Stacy cannot go to work due to a last minute commitment as well. This way both parties are happy and able to have a day off on the days they want.

The float RN does not want to be floated to the medsurg floor due to negative views towards the staff who work on that unit.

Another RN on duty states they have a family matter that needs to be adressed and asks the RN personally if they can be flexed instead of them. In return they will take their break relief shift that week if they want. The RN agrees to this and stays the rest of the shift while the other RN gets flexed home.

For example, Nurse A has several patients who are easily manageable. Nurse B has several high acuity patients and needs assistance. Nurse A happened to have Nurse B's patient for several days and is well aware of the patient's condition. Both nurses can compromise by Nurse A receiving one of Nurse B's difficult patients, and Nurse B receiving a better manageable patient. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929859870 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929860681 Competing is when one party pursues what it wants at the expense of others (zero sum game). This is a win-lose conflict resolution strategy. For example, a nurse gets special treatment in choosing which holidays to get off by the nurse manager just because she does extra busy work of the manager, and stays overtime to help the nurse manager with tasks. This is unfair to other nurses, every nurse should get fair treatment in which days they wish to not work.

For example, Cynthia is the resource nurse for tonight's shift and helped out Toby with his patient because the patient needed at least two nurses to administer his medications, I&Os, etc. due to lack of Care Partners in the ICU unit.]]> 2020-11-17 01:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929873403 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929874202 Competing is a win-lose situation, in which one party pursues what it wants at the expense of the other. 

An example may be that there are two nurses who are seeking a similar position in management. Instead of working for the position in a professional manner, one of the nurses purposefully withholds information at hand off from the competing nurse in order for them to receive a write up which may inhibit that nurse from getting the position. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929874202 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929876077 2020-11-17 01:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929876077 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929878811 2020-11-17 01:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929878811 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929881345 Smoothing is when one party in a conflict attempts to pacify the other party or to focus on agreements rather than differences. For example, the new nurses on the unit are angry because they keep getting assigned to the COVID or really sick patients while the senior nurses get easy patients. To ease the tension, the nurse manager offers to make a rotation schedule of the specific COVID/sick patients on their unit and have all nurses new and senior nurses rotate taking care of those patients. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929881345 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929884021 Cooperating/Accommodating is a win-lose situation where one party sacrifices his/her beliefs and allows the other party to win. 

An example of this may be a new grad nurse who is coming into a new floor and receives more patients than the senior nurses. The new grad nurse finds that he/she has more number of patients and has a greater higher acuity patients. He/she keeps silent in order to accommodate/please the unit as he/she wants to make a good impression.]]> 2020-11-17 01:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929884021 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929888373 Two RNS on the unit don't get along very well so instead of trying to work together, they act like the other doesn't exit.]]> 2020-11-17 01:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929888373 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929889479 In avoiding, the parties involved are aware of a conflict but chose not to acknowledge it or attempt to resolve it. For example, if two nurses are arguing with each other and don't like working together, instead of talking about their problems, they avoid having shifts together. Or if they do have shifts together, they don't effectively communicate with each other about the patient and this causes problems with patient care. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929889479 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929893828 Smoothing is a win-lose situation when one party in conflict attempts to pacify the other party or to focus on agreements rather than differences.

An example of smoothing may be when a nurse angrily and wrongly accuses a UAP of causing a patient fall due to not putting the bed alarm. After the nurse manager hears the full story and looks at the documentation, it is determined it was not the UAP's fault but rather that the patient refused the bed alarm. Instead of the nurse apologizing, he/she sidelines the issue and tells the UAP not to let the patient fall and have a closer eye on the patient. This is diminishing the nurse's actions towards the UAP and is unprofessional.]]> 2020-11-17 01:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929893828 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929899624 When two RNs both want the same time off, but the unit manager can only let one off due to staffing situations.

An example of avoiding is when a nurse manager finds that a particular nurse is playing the system by frequently calling in sick and being tardy to work. Because the nurse is childhood friends of the nurse manager, he/she decides to let it go despite the numerous absences that affected all of the unit. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929905009 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929906669 The unit manager calls everyone into a meeting where everyone voices their opinion about new protocols that can be implemented on the unit. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929906669 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929908464 An RN really needs a certain day off due to personal reasons, so she switches shifts with another RN who usually works during the week and gives the RN her weekend off. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929908464 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929915129 Collaborating is a win-win situation in which problem solving is a joint effort with no superior-subordinate.

An example of collaborating is when the nurse manager is open to the nurses, LVN, and UAP's feedback and is willing to make changes to the unit in order to make patient care more effective and staff job satisfaction greater. ]]> 2020-11-17 01:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/929915129 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930048480 There is a lack of medication carts that are on the floor, so two nurses are assigned to each med cart.

Essentially, neither person wins nor loses. You try to find a middle ground. 

Two nurses are discussing days they wish to have off for vacation. Both nurses want to have the week of Christmas off. The charge nurse allows both nurses to take Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off, instead of having the entire week off so the unit is not short staffed.

Two RNs reach the pyxis in the medication room at the same time, but they seem to be in a rush and in a bad mood - you let them go first to avoid the argument. ]]> 2020-11-17 04:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930139502 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930141307 Compromising involves parties giving up something they want. In order for compromise to work, both parties must give up something of similar value. The point of a compromise is for both parties to meet in the middle. 

Nurses can compromise with patients too; lets say you're the nurse and typically do vitals at 8 am, but the patient you have is cranky and not that compliant in the morning. So you tell them you will give them 30 more minutes of 
sleep in the morning and they agree. Here the nurse has a more happy, compliant patient that allows her to get work done and the patient gets 30 more mins of sleep. ]]> 2020-11-17 04:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930141307 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930141659 2020-11-17 04:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930141659 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930146791 Avoiding is used when you don't want to get into conflict with another person. 

Two nurses are upset at each other because of what happened in the code blue an hour ago and wanted to talk to the charge nurse, but the charge nurse knows that both nurses always clash with one another and make a big deal out of everything. The charge nurse delays their meeting to temporarily avoid the situation. ]]> 2020-11-17 04:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930146791 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930149945 When you are collaborating with someone, you are working together as a team.

A nurse has a day off, which they look forward to from a stressful week. But, gets a call from a colleague asking if they can cover for them because of personal reasons. The nurse with the day off agrees and sacrifices their day off without asking for anything in return. ]]> 2020-11-17 04:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930198409 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930206471 Smoothing occurs when one puts other's needs, demands, and concerns first rather than their own. For example, the nursing manager is mediating conflict between two nurses who are arguing over scheduling. The nurse manager may plan and create a schedule where both nurses are able to plan out their days accordingly and without conflict]]> 2020-11-17 04:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930206471 https://padlet.com/delillycarol/18a948rygpcj1cdk/wish/930210988 In smoothing, one party attempts to resolve issues by coming to agreements instead of acknowledging the differences. This resolution doesn't typically work because they tend to look past on the differences instead of focusing on them and working from there. 
Like a charge nurse settling a conflict with what they believe is best without acknowledging why the nurses are truly upset. Here the charge nurse is doing what's most convenient for them.

They are well aware of the conflict but don't wish to come up with a resolution. 
Two nurses clash with each other, but instead of resolving it they walk away and act like it never happened. However, when in a room with both nurses you can feel the tension.
