Professional Practice Model

A Nursing Professional Practice Model is a framework that outlines the foundational principles, values, and beliefs that guide nursing practice within a specific health care organization. It serves as a blueprint for nursing professionals, shaping their roles, responsibilities, and interactions within the health care environment.

For The Queen’s Health System, a new model crafted by the collective vision of the nurses, vividly portrays this profound dedication to serving patients. This model encapsulates the essence of nursing through a synergy of scientific excellence, demanding high-quality, evidence-based, shared decision making, advocacy, and innovative care, and the art of nursing, which fosters healing environments characterized by loving kindness, inclusion, compassion, presence, and holistic care.

Crucially, the Professional Practice Model places the patients’ healing, dignity, hope, love, and acceptance at its core, embodying the vision of Queen Emma for all the people of Hawai‘i and illustrating how each nurse actively realizes this vision in their daily practice.

Shared Decision Making: The Queen's Nursing Vision

Nursing at Queen’s is a center of excellence for professional nursing practice. It is known for distinction in clinical nursing practice, innovative strategies in nursing education, and collaborative research which extends the bounds of knowledge.

Shared decision making (SDM)  at The Queen’s Health System is a model that empowers nurses at all levels to take ownership and accountability for their nursing professional practice. Queen’s has 11 organizational level SDM councils that align with the strategic priorities of nursing.

Unit and department-based practice councils drives shared decision making in operational and professional practice at the unit level. Through collaboration with leaders and inter-professional partners, Queen’s nurses provide the latest and superior patient care.

Unionized nurses demand better conditions, staffing at Queen's

COURTESY HNA

Unionized nurses Friday morning held a "March on the Boss" event to call for fair bargaining practices during negotiations with The Queen's Health System. The union's contract with Queen's expires June 30.

Unionized nurses Friday morning held a "March on the Boss" rally at The Queen's Medical Center.

The Hawaii Nurses Association OPEIU Local 50 intended to hand-deliver the petition directly to Queen's President and CEO Jill Hoggard Green in a show of solidarity for safe staffing, fair wages and better working conditions.

"We are putting Queen's on notice that we are united and determined to achieve significant improvements to allow us to deliver the quality of care our community deserves," said Rose Agas-Yuu, HNA president, in a statement. "The current contract of the nurses expires June 30, and the nurses hope to have a successor contract in place before the expiration date to avoid any potential disruption in patient care."

Nearly all of Queen's 2,000 nurses signed the petition, the union said, and wanted to go straight to the top. The petition was delivered to a labor representative, who said Green was not available but wanted to set up a meeting next week.

The two parties have had 14 bargaining sessions over two months, the union said, without significant progress.

Queen's said to date, the two parties have reached 10 tentative agreements on various topics and also have had initial discussions on economics.

"Our negotiation team continues to work collaboratively and in good faith with HNA to reach an agreement on a contract that respects our nurses and their profession, promotes superior patient care, provides competitive pay and benefits, and is sustainable for our organization," said Queen's in a statement. "We look forward to future discussions with HNA at our next sessions."

Among the union's top concerns, according to Daniel Ross, former HNA president, are staffing shortages and competitive wages that reflect Hawaii's high cost of living.

Ross, a longtime registered nurse at Queen's, said the union is pushing for reasonable staff-to-patient ratios at Queen's, just as it is for Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women &Children.

This issue has been at the forefront for nurses unions across the U.S. due to chronic staffing shortages, he said, and will be part of the conversation for every contract up for negotiation in Hawaii.

Queen's hospitals have been at overcapacity for the past three years, he said, meaning that patients are being parked in the hallway when a bed is not available for them. When this happens, he said, nurses have to care for an extra patient using portable equipment, which is unsafe.

Additionally, Ross said that to remain competitive and recruit and retain experienced nurses, wages need to reflect the high cost of living in Hawaii. These wages should be competitive with the mainland market, he said, not just the Hawaii market.

"They're ignoring the fact when you factor in the cost of living statewide, our earnings average is the lowest in the nation," he said. "Honolulu (earnings) are the second-lowest metro area in the U.S., behind only D.C., so we can't compete with the mainland."

While there have been many new nurse graduates entering the workforce, experienced nurses are needed, and many are still burning out, looking to work away from the bedside or seeking opportunities elsewhere, he said.

Newly minted nurses also work a few years, then seek better-paying opportunities out of state, he said. Many are waiting to see what happens with contract negotiations.

HNA is also still in negotiations with Hawaii Pacific Health, which runs Kapi'olani Medical Center, for a new contract, with little progress so far. The Kapi'olani contract expired Nov. 30.

Following a by Kapi'olani nurses earlier this year, a federal mediator was brought in, but is no longer working with the parties because they are too far apart, Ross said.

HNA, which represents about 4,000 health care professionals statewide, also has begun negotiations for a new contract for nurses at Wilcox Medical Center and at Kulana Malama, a facility in Ewa Beach for medically fragile children.

The union said first contracts are also being negotiated for The Queen's Medical Center-­Wahiawa after Queen's recent acquisition of Wahiawa General Hospital, and Kahi Mohala, a behavioral health facility in Ewa owned by Sutter Health.

Unionized nurses Friday morning held a “March on the Boss” rally at The Queen’s Medical Center.

The Hawaii Nurses Association OPEIU Local 50 intended to hand-deliver the petition directly to Queen’s President and CEO Jill Hoggard Green in a show of solidarity for safe staffing, fair wages and better working conditions.

“We are putting Queen’s on notice that we are united and determined to achieve significant improvements to allow us to deliver the quality of care our community deserves,” said Rose Agas-Yuu, HNA president, in a statement. “The current contract of the nurses expires June 30, and the nurses hope to have a successor contract in place before the expiration date to avoid any potential disruption in patient care.”

Nearly all of Queen’s 2,000 nurses signed the petition, the union said, and wanted to go straight to the top. The petition was delivered to a labor representative, who said Green was not available but wanted to set up a meeting next week.

The two parties have had 14 bargaining sessions over two months, the union said, without significant progress.

Queen’s said to date, the two parties have reached 10 tentative agreements on various topics and also have had initial discussions on economics.

“Our negotiation team continues to work collaboratively and in good faith with HNA to reach an agreement on a contract that respects our nurses and their profession, promotes superior patient care, provides competitive pay and benefits, and is sustainable for our organization,” said Queen’s in a statement. “We look forward to future discussions with HNA at our next sessions.”

Among the union’s top concerns, according to Daniel Ross, former HNA president, are staffing shortages and competitive wages that reflect Hawaii’s high cost of living.

Ross, a longtime registered nurse at Queen’s, said the union is pushing for reasonable staff-to-patient ratios at Queen’s, just as it is for Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women &Children.

This issue has been at the forefront for nurses unions across the U.S. due to chronic staffing shortages, he said, and will be part of the conversation for every contract up for negotiation in Hawaii.

Queen’s hospitals have been at overcapacity for the past three years, he said, meaning that patients are being parked in the hallway when a bed is not available for them. When this happens, he said, nurses have to care for an extra patient using portable equipment, which is unsafe.

Additionally, Ross said that to remain competitive and recruit and retain experienced nurses, wages need to reflect the high cost of living in Hawaii. These wages should be competitive with the mainland market, he said, not just the Hawaii market.

“They’re ignoring the fact when you factor in the cost of living statewide, our earnings average is the lowest in the nation,” he said. “Honolulu (earnings) are the second-lowest metro area in the U.S., behind only D.C., so we can’t compete with the mainland.”

While there have been many new nurse graduates entering the workforce, experienced nurses are needed, and many are still burning out, looking to work away from the bedside or seeking opportunities elsewhere, he said.

Newly minted nurses also work a few years, then seek better-paying opportunities out of state, he said. Many are waiting to see what happens with contract negotiations.

HNA is also still in negotiations with Hawaii Pacific Health, which runs Kapi‘olani Medical Center, for a new contract, with little progress so far. The Kapi‘olani contract expired Nov. 30.

Following a one-week strike by Kapi‘olani nurses earlier this year, a federal mediator was brought in, but is no longer working with the parties because they are too far apart, Ross said.

HNA, which represents about 4,000 health care professionals statewide, also has begun negotiations for a new contract for nurses at Wilcox Medical Center and at Kulana Malama, a facility in Ewa Beach for medically fragile children.

The union said first contracts are also being negotiated for The Queen’s Medical Center-­Wahiawa after Queen’s recent acquisition of Wahiawa General Hospital, and Kahi Mohala, a behavioral health facility in Ewa owned by Sutter Health.

Planned cleanup of Newtown Creek Superfund site on agenda for June 12 Queens CB 5 meeting

Queens Community Board 5  — which represents  Ridgewood ,  Maspeth ,  Middle Village  and  Glendale  — will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, June 12, with a presentation on a planned cleanup of the Newtown Creek Superfund site.

Newtown Creek is a tidal arm of the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary and shares a border with Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods, according to information by the US Environmental Protection Agency .

The Newtown Creek Superfund site spans 3.8 miles, which includes Newtown Creek, and its tributaries, according to information from the Newtown Creek Superfund Site Community Advisory Group. Newtown Creek was placed on the EPA Superfund National Priorities list , harboring hazardous and toxic materials, in 2010 — known as one the most polluted waterways in the nation.

Anyone wishing to speak to the board during the public forum portion of the night is asked to pre-register. Those who wish to participate are advised to call CB 5 at 718-366-1834 or email at [email protected] .

How nurses known as ‘black angels’ helped save tb patients.

An exhibition honors the hundreds of Black nurses who cared for tuberculosis patients in the mid-20th century after white nurses fled a Staten Island hospital.

By Tammy LaGorce

Good morning. It’s Tuesday. Today we’ll look at an exhibition about Black nurses who were recruited to care for tuberculosis patients in the mid-20th century.

In the early 20th century, tuberculosis was raging in New York City, killing thousands of people each year. The city’s health department chose Staten Island in 1905 as the location for Sea View Hospital, which became one of the biggest tuberculosis hospitals in the country.

But tuberculosis was highly infectious, and by the 1930s the number of white nurses willing to risk their lives to care for Sea View’s patients was dwindling. Administrators started calling on workers often overlooked because of racism: Black nurses.

An exhibition now on view at the Staten Island Museum, “ Taking Care: The Black Angels of Sea View Hospital, ” tells the story of 300 Black nurses who were recruited. The name Black Angels came from patients and was embraced by the nurses, said Gabriella Leone, a curator.

But wall text at the exhibition reminds visitors that the nurses “were real people with individual lives, families, flaws and stories.”

The museum is about five miles from the Sea View campus, in the heart of the Greenbelt, a parkland area on Staten Island.

“It was an attractive place to build a hospital because it was the least populous of the boroughs, and it had a reputation for fresh air and sunshine,” Leone said during a recent exhibition tour, noting that air and sun were then thought to be the most effective treatments for tuberculosis.

The hospital first recruited Black nurses locally, from the Lincoln School for Nurses in the Bronx and the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing. But by the 1950s Sea View still had a shortage, so the call for Black nurses went national. As the Great Migration pushed forward, the Black Angels assembled on Staten Island to fill the void.

One of the women who stepped in to fill the void was Virginia Allen , now 92, who lives in what used to be Sea View’s nurses’ residence. In 2009, it became a private retirement home; her apartment is on the same floor of the same building she lived in during the 1940s.

Unlike Allen, many of the nurses were lured from the Jim Crow South by the promise of a living wage when most hospitals, even in New York, refused to work with Black nurses or limited the number they would hire, according to one of the exhibition’s oral histories. But Allen arrived in 1947, at age 16, from Detroit. Her aunt Edna Sutton-Ballard, then a surgical nurse at Sea View, inspired her.

“I admired my aunt,” Allen, one of the exhibition’s advisers, said, adding: “The other nurses, the adults, adopted me. It was a real community.”

Allen started as a nurse’s aide at the Sea View children’s hospital. According to the exhibition, 3 to 7 percent of nurses at Sea View contracted tuberculosis. Allen was never scared, though.

“I loved being around children,” she said. “And I felt I knew how to protect myself.”

By the time she left the hospital in 1957, she and her fellow Black Angels had played a major role in protecting the public. Sea View conducted the first clinical trials of isoniazid, a drug that became a key in treating the disease, in 1951. On the front lines of that trial were the nurses, who administered the medicine, observed patients and took detailed notes to report to doctors.

A panel of museum text sums up what happened next: “Drs. Edward Robitzek and Irving Selikoff , who oversaw the trial, went on to receive the prestigious Lasker Award for their work. But the nursing and support staff who risked their lives to keep Sea View Hospital running have not received the same recognition.”

Dr. Oni Blackstock , the founder and executive director of Health Justice, a racial and health equity consultancy in New York City, said that the Black Angels “were courageous trailblazers.” She sees “definite parallels” between the Black Angels and the nurses who cared for dying patients early in the coronavirus pandemic.

“We know that those hospitals that were most beleaguered during the pandemic were in poor Black and brown neighborhoods, which were already under-resourced and understaffed,” she said.

Black nurses who couldn’t afford to leave their jobs as Covid bore down on New York City “were literally putting their lives on the line taking care of patients, with an infection that hadn’t yet had an F.D.A.-approved treatment or a vaccine to prevent it,” she added.

Allen, who said the nurses she worked with “really did give up a lot” to treat patients at Sea View, is relieved that they are receiving more notice. The exhibition includes an original Sea View nursing cart as well as a wool cape that was part of the nurses’ outdoor uniform. A book by Maria Smilios, “The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis,” came out in the fall.

“I’m very happy the legacy will live on,” Allen said.

A mostly sunny day, with temperatures in the high 70s. At night, temperatures will drop to the low 60s.

Two officers shot in Queens

By Ed Shanahan

At around 1:30 a.m. Monday, two New York City police officers tried to pull over a 19-year-old man who, officials said, was riding a motorbike the wrong way down a one-way street along a deserted stretch of Queens near La Guardia Airport.

The officers were patrolling the area, in East Elmhurst, as part of an effort to address a recent spate of robberies there involving people on mopeds and scooters, Commissioner Edward A. Caban said at a news conference.

When the officers tried to stop the man, he got off the bike and ran, the commissioner said. When they caught up with him after chasing him for several blocks on foot, the man fired several shots at them, and they returned fire.

One officer was shot in the leg, officials said; the other was shot in the front of his bulletproof vest. The officers were taken to New York City Health and Hospitals, Elmhurst, for treatment and later released.

“This is a bullet hole,” Mayor Eric Adams said at the news conference while displaying the bulletproof vest. “Because of this vest, a young police officer is going home.”

The man involved in the shooting, identified by the police as Bernardo Raul Castro Mata, was struck in the right ankle, officials said. He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, where he was in custody on Monday, officials said.

The motorbike Mata was driving was not registered, Joseph Kenny, the Police Department’s chief of detectives, said at the news conference. Mata has not previously been arrested in New York City, but he is a suspect in several robberies that followed a similar pattern in Queens, Kenny said.

Until recently, Mata had been staying at a shelter on Ditmars Boulevard in Queens, officials said.

The number of shootings in the city is down significantly so far this year compared with 2023, police statistics show. As of May 26, 375 people had been shot in the city this year, a 12 percent drop compared with the same period last year.

Shootings are rare in East Elmhurst, which is within the 115th Precinct. There were none in the area through May 26, police statistics show, and only two people were shot in the precinct during the same period last year.

The number of robberies in the precinct, on the other hand, has increased nearly 34 percent through May 26, to 143 from 107, compared with the same period last year. Citywide, Kenny said, scooters and motorbikes are being used to commit a growing number of crimes.

METROPOLITAN diary

Taking Turns

Dear Diary:

I was riding the C train to an evening class at City College. It was rush hour, and I was standing shoulder to shoulder with others in the packed car when the train slowed to a crawl between stations.

It was summer, and the car was steaming hot. The air-conditioning was broken, and only a couple of the windows could open all the way.

I was not feeling well after a difficult week and was struggling to stay upright as the wait wore on. After a half-hour or so, I managed to squat on the floor and lower my head.

I soon felt a gentle hand on my shoulder and was then guided to a seat a few feet away that seemed to have been made empty just for me. I expressed my appreciation, though I could not see who was guiding me nor who had sacrificed a seat. The car was too crowded.

After sitting for several minutes, I noticed that a passenger standing near me was at the limit. Feeling my energy somewhat restored, I swapped places with this person.

And so it went for what seemed like an hour or more: People who were sitting in the crowded car traded places with those who were standing, squiggling slowly and almost silently around one another to do so.

Nice casual experience here with Thai style afternoon tea! There was a good variety of afternoon tea options! The sweet and savory pastries were really cute and fun to try. It would be nice if they had a written list that labeled out what each pastry was and what was in it. There was also fruits and curry chicken sandwich (tapas size) included with the set. We were allowed to order food on their regular menu, too, if we wanted. There is a good amount of seating too because there's two sides to the restaurant. One side was more decorated than the other side, though. I held a birthday afternoon tea here, and I felt that it could be more decorated because my group sat on the less decorated side. The service was also low because there was only one person working there at the time. I think this place has the potential to be better. Overall, I thought the tea set was good value! Looking forward to coming again!

Really fun take on afternoon tea with their thai inspired flavors in their "East Meets West Afternoon Tea" set! Note there are only 4 tables, would recommend calling for a reservation ahead of time. Service is also on the slower side, as the waitress is serving both the tea customers as well as the restaurant on the other side.

East Meets West Afternoon Tea

Slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Terrible service. The worst services we've experienced in a long time. Not worth it.

A really cute tea / dessert spot sharing a space with a Thai restaurant. I made reservations in advanced for a Sunday tea time. When I arrived they were hosting a birthday party at the restaurant so service to seat me was pretty slow. My friend and I got our menus and picked the tea (the set comes with 1 pot and additional is $5). It took awhile to take our tea orders but they were understandably occupied with the party. Once we placed our tea orders, our tower of savory / sweet items came shortly. It was definitely unique tasting but I'm from Malaysia so I was aware of the spices. My friend however, was definitly a newbie to these spices but she enjoyed it! We both really liked the curry puff, curry sandwich, and the sticky rice. I think this tea set $40 was definitely worth the travel for me all the way from Brooklyn!

I'm a sucker for afternoon high tea service and wish that there were more places that offer it here in NYC. The ones I know about in Manhattan are a bit on the higher end in terms of prices, so it was great to hear about Madame Tea Sweet House. They recently opened in Woodside, Queens and are offering their version of afternoon tea service. The tea service is called East Meets West ($39.99) and is Thai focused. You have your choice of tea and includes both savory and sweet items like chicken and meat dumplings, cupcakes, coconut mango jelly, steamed banana cake, sticky rice balls (Bua Loi), grated coconut, and layered pandan dessert (Khanom Chan), just to name a few. The items are petite sized and perfect for those who want to try a variety of Thai desserts both traditional and new. The presentation was on point and was so visually stunning. I loved the fact that a lot of the items in the tea service were new to me. My favorite items were the three savory sweet bird dumplings (Chor Muang) filled with ground meat, and radishes. They were shaped like tiny birds, had a silky, chewy dough filled with ground chicken & pork. It was so very tasty. Funnily enough, the tea was actually the least exciting component of the whole thing. We chose to get Jasmine green and it was surprisingly just a tea bag and not house blend loose leaf tea that is usually served with high tea. Along with the tea service, we also ordered Larb Pork Nachos ($16.95). Larb is usually served with sticky rice or lettuce wrap so I really loved their version with nachos. The larb was tangy, full of flavor with lots of fresh herbs, and had a slight spicy kick. It was so perfect with the nachos which added a crunchy element to each bite. I could have eaten this whole dish by myself. We very much enjoyed our visit. The space, while small with about 4-5 small tables, was decorated so cute. The staff and owner came by several times to check on us. They even put the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's on the screen for us to watch while we waited for our food. It was just a very lovely time, and we will be coming back.

Food is amazing here. I love their afternoon tea set which costs 39.99 per set, enough to share between 2 people. Decoration is beautiful - you will feel like you're in a garden. Service is also great. Highly recommended to try! You have to call to make reservation. It's usually from 2-6 pm on weekends.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with 2 kids and a friend. We did not have reservations and were seated immediately. They seemed pretty unorganized even though they were not full. We came for the experience that we did not get we were not greeted at the table to select teas given a breakdown of what the tray tower came with nothing. My girls wanted the experience and I was a little disappointed that I had to keep getting up to ask questions. I will come back again to try to get the experience hopefully it would not be the same. The food was cool.

This place is very small but it was cool. The staff/owners were nice! Tea was tasty and the pork that came with the sticky rice was really really good!

Can't remember the name but it was really really good. Suggested that they should sell the teas and they just might!

Sweets and things

Came here as a party of 3 to try the high tea. We were slightly confused with the set up. Essentially its $40 for a pot of tea and the tower of treats. Typically suited for 2 people. We initially thought each person was charged like a normal high tea place but thats not the case here. The restaurant is small and very nicely decorated. The food display was appetizing and most of the stuff that was included in the tea set was delicious. The restaurant has an awesome thai menu with tons of selection all very reasonably priced. We were very disappointed in the tea. Inside the tea pot is one single tea bag and if u wanted refill they just add hot water but the tea bag already has no more flavor. Our server was super nice but the poor guy was running around the whole restaurant with no additional help. Every table was full. Not only did he forget to put in an order but we ended up waiting a long time for a dish that he kept saying was coming that we never came. We ended up canceling and asking for the check. We definitely enjoyed the food and would love to come back to try the rest of the menu. Hopefully next time it will be better
