change in facility names (none / 0)

Jeff,  In our building, we are working on adjusting some of the titles.     We no longer have department heads, they are called mentors and leaders.   We have even changed some of the front line worker titles.   Our charge nurses are now shift leaders, our medication nurses are called mediciation specialists, and our CNA's are called resident care specialists.   It has been difficult to transition to new titles.   We are all so stuck in the old medical model of care.   Hope this helps.

Title changes (none / 0)

Have you noticed any attitude changes or even subtle perception improvements related to the change in titles.
I think it would be a positive thing to update job titles, but don't want change merely for the sake of change.
Thanks.

changing titles of management and leadership staff (none / 0)

I really do think that we look at things differently.   The change in titles came long after the change in attitudes.    We really transformed the culture of our facility beginning about three years ago.    We just recently (6 months or so) changed the names.   We still have problems using the old titles at times.
