The Role of Nurse Managers
Please write a paragraph responding to the discussion bellow. Add citations and references in alphabetical order.
Nurse managers are responsible for
supervising nursing staff in a hospital or clinical setting. They
oversee patient care, make management and budgetary decisions, set work
schedules, coordinate meetings and make decisions about personnel. They
also are in charge of recruitment, budgeting, treatment planning, case
management and staff management. They need to have good communication and
leadership skills. When a nurse manager had these strong skills, the end result
has been associated with greater job satisfaction, reduced turnover intention
among nursing staff, and improved patient outcomes. In addition, U.S
Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the need for some 1.1 million new
registered nurses to meet the new demand and replace retirees, many in
management positions. This means that new nurses will be in the forefront nurse
leader/manager role, which will effect the reengineering of the future of
health care. “The role is influential in creating a professional environment
and fostering a culture where interdisciplinary team members are able to
contribute to optimal patient outcomes and grow professionally” (American
Organization of Nurse Executives, 2018).
