RE:

To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself, Jeannine Bernstein. The

leadership skills, agility to change, and positive team building tools I have acquired and

use in my current role can be credited to a pedigree of fine organizations that I have

worked with over my career. There are some clear examples of my leadership and team

building skills that I wish to illustrate:

With in the last quarter of 2014 I have worked very closely with a dyad approach

that Mount Sinai prides itself upon. The objective is to incorporate new medicine and

nursing strategies to patient throughput. The simple concept of representing medicine and

nursing in patient care decisions and length of stay quandaries. My core belief system of

patient services surrounds a portion of the Studer philosophies. With this in mind, last

quarter I developed an online video based competency using MSH’s, Peak Educational

Platform. This competency was developed along with two Corporate Nursing Officers for

director and management level training.

The CNO of Englewood Hospital in Englewood, NJ through my affiliation at

Rutger’s University requested my development of a return-on-investment analysis

supporting a acquisition of a patient call back system. The objective, to lower CMS

readmission penalties in all areas of service. This project concluded in December with

gaining approval from their Board of Directors.

I have chaired a team and implemented a 30-day post new hire simulation lab

event at Mount Sinai entitled “Content to Concept,” putting it all together where the

recapture of core indicators of quality nursing is reinforced to create that “magic bullet

of hardwiring effect.” Topics included real time daily data of hospital falls safety,

acquired infection rate, and the prevention bundles. This collaboration includes: Infection

Control Officer, ANP WOCN, QI, and the Simulation lab director.

System-wide successes at Moffit Cancer Center give evidence as to my long-term

ability to lead a vision to a successful initiation as acknowledged by Jack Kolosky, VP of

the organization. The collaborative nature of this initiative involved working with the

legal, executive branch, risk management, licensed practitioners, and procedural nursing

to find a common win-win for all invested.

As my current position reflects, I have found education as not only my lifelong

journey but also the core of improving our healthcare system today on many fronts. The

DNP program online with Rutgers State University exhibits clearly my commitment to

further my personal education and acquire certifications to substantiate my expertise.

With confidence, my presence will prove to encompass the enthusiasm that your

organization is seeking to polish your team. Relationships are what bring about successful

initiatives, progress, and cooperative relationships. I look forward to meeting your

executive officers and Vice President of Patient Care Services to share our vision’s of

exceptional patient care in south Florida.

Warm regards,

Jeannine M. Bernstein, DNPc, RN, CCRN-K
