One of the most commoncauses of preventable traumatic death is uncontrolledhemorrhage. In a response to the 2012 Sandy HookElementary School shooting, a national White Housecampaign, “Stop the Bleed,”1 was established October2015.This global awareness campaign calls all healthprofessionals to teach STB in their community. As a nurse,you can attend a Stop the Bleed course, and then attain“instructor” status to provide this important educationto your friends and neighbors, local schools, places ofworship, civic centers etc.This program teaches the necessary skills toEVERYONE in order to control serious bleeding andbecome trained in proper tourniquet placement. Itempowers bystanders to help those injured beforeprofessional help can arrive. Nurses make excellentinstructors to support community members as they learnthese skills.Jamie Troyer, the Trauma Outreach & Injury PreventionCoordinator at the University of Utah Health, recentlytaught a STB course for students, parents, and facultyat Highland High School in Salt Lake City. One of thestudents who attended the training acknowledged that“school shootings are something that he worries about,and that the skills he learned from the training took awaysome of that fear by making him feel more prepared toface an emergency.”Save a Life! Take the course AND become an instructor.Join your nursing colleagues by teaching these skills sothey become as familiar to the public as CPR and basicfirst aid.

Dingman, DNP, MS, RNThe beginning few months of 2020 is a good timeto review our individual and collective goals andopportunities as Utah nurses across various roles ofpractice. In reflection of the New Year, I was inspiredby this quote: “It doesn’t matter how much we do– it is how much love we put into the doing.” –Mother Teresa. As nurses in Utah we have multipleopportunities to reflect and act in our importantrole for health care outcomes, patient and familywell-being and satisfaction, and our collectivecontributions to the well-being of others acrossmultiple venues in which we provide care. I inviteyou to join with me in reflection of your decision tobecome a nurse. Thank You!The year 2020 is the YEAR OF THE NURSE asannounced by Ernest J. Grant, PhD, RN, FAAN,President of American Nurses Association, andwill include during the month May celebration andappreciation of influential roles nurses play in allvenues of patient care delivery. The Year 2020 isalso the 200 Year Anniversary of the birth of FlorenceNightingale as announced by The World HealthOrganization (WHO).

TheLeadership Council is a representative advisorybody that provides informed guidance, advice, and/or recommendations on professional issues andorganizational matters via collaboration with the ANABoard of Directors. The Leadership Council reports tothe Membership Assembly.We participated in one full day of professionaldevelopment and two full days of Leadership Councilmeetings. This event lead to the ANA Board ofDirectors Executives and Open Business Sessionmeetings that took place on Friday, December 6.The Leadership Summit Annual Meeting is a forumfor planning at the National level that includes Statelevel inclusion in the dialogues regarding processand function of roles and responsibilities for both theNational and State organizations.Summary of this three-day Leadership SummitMeetingDay One. Professional development with allPresidents and Chief of Staff Officers ations/dialogue about “Thinking about OurThinking:” The impact of Unconscious Bias presentedbyMarshaHughesRease,MSNMSOD,PCC. Being aware ofpersonal bias and theimpact on ow an organization tobecome aware and helpidentify the impact on ourorganizations’thinkingand action. The goal was“to identify biases as they emerge and counteractthem on the fly to reduce their impact” (HughesRease, 2019 verbal presentation).We identified common biases including: Similarity(better than another); Expedience (this feels right, itmust be true); Experience (my perception is accurate);Distance (near is stronger than far); and Safety (Badis stronger than good.) (H. G. Grant Halvorson &David Rock, Strategy Business, Beyond Biases,2019 Leadership Summit). The summary from thisactivity included: Diversity and inclusion generatesbetter business outcomes. We need both diversityand inclusion to be successful and to create a cultureof trust, respect, valued, belonging, and intentionwith a sense of connectedness by belonging to agroup. Better business outcomes are realized whenparticipants feel highly included and trusted.This experience was very valuable for participantsas we used introspection on the learning fromour own experiences of fairness, respect, valued,belonging, safety, openness, empowerment, andgrowing in team performance, decision making, andcollaboration. Being an inclusive leader may well bethe first important step for healthcare organizations inthe changing environments we experience.President’s Message continued on page 5

Collaboration will empower others and create the conditions for teamcohesion and promote diversity of thinking.As the workforce becomes more diverse and inclusive, leadership is critical tosuccess. Middle managers are vital to the success of organizations’ diversity andinclusion strategy for team performance that leads to success or failure. One sizewill not fit all for the way information is delivered; Patient care experiences areshaped by interactions of care providers; and misconceptions need to be addressedfor our organizations to be successful.The future of health care requires making tough decisions when needed toensure our values are upheld vs anything goes. We may need to walk in another’sshoes to make tough decisions for the future of health care recipients including theirperspectives of outcomes and the success of their care experience.Diversity and inclusion of the health care workforce is essential and is powerfullyessential for all patient care outcomes across all venues of health care delivery.Clear and concise messaging of both personal and organizational messaging isessential for nurse leaders in today’s health care environments.Thank You to all Utah nurses for your efforts on behalf of those we provide careand services to in our roles as nurses.
