Lewin’s Change Theory
I am a passionate worker at the non-profit geriatric clinic where I am a nurse manager in charge
of quality assurance. The clinic focuses on the medication and meeting the medical needs of the
seniors like the Onlok system in San Francisco. We have a total of five registered nurses who
work for the clinic in ensuring quality health care for the elderly.
The hierarchical structure of the clinic starts begins with the board of directors who make
decisions for the clinic. The management and advisory board follow as it exercises the decisions
made by the directors where the corporate sector and the clinical department follow. On the
corporate unit, the purchases are managed, the finances, strategies, human resource, and the
administration. On the clinical department, there are the physicians the nurse managers, the
nurses and then the ancillary service providers.

Lewin’s Change Theory
I plan to change the act of bullying between the nurses in the clinic. Some nurses tend to
bully the others especially the new old nurses bully the new nurses. This has been a form of
culture where the old nurses to have more real power than the new nurses which is very unethical
in the health service provision. I have acquired communication skills that will help me in
discussing the behavior with the nurses. I have done some research on the dangers of bullying in
the workplace for both the nurses being bullied and the bully so that I can convince them to stop
exercising the behavior. My plan may be affected by non-rational elements like attitude because
it may lead to miscommunication. This makes it hard for me to convince them to cease
practicing the bully behavior. I have unending support from my family, my fellow students, and
co-workers who are not happy with this behavior. They all give me moral support by advising
me on the best type of strategies to use when communicating with the nurses. My fellow students
help me in research on how to communicate with nurses and how to facilitate behavior change at
the workplace primarily in the healthcare sector. My coworkers are there to help me in
convincing the nurses about stopping the bullying.
I have acquired tactics that will help me in convincing them like being persuasive and
educating them on why they stop the behavior. During the stage of persuasion, I will cultivate
my language to persuade them, and then I will use evidence to approach them and appeal their
logic and emotions. BY the use of these persuasive strategies I can succeed in convincing them. I
can also educate them on the dangers of bullying like causing stress which can make them
convinced.
In my plan to implement change, I will put Levin’s Theory of change into the application.
It will involve three stages...
