NURSING 2
Introduction
Nursing is considered to be a crucial part of healthcare. Many new concepts are been
included in nursing to enhance the health of the patient. Registered Nurse is also one such
concept. Registered Nurse is considered to be those nurses that are graduated from a nursing
program. Different requirements are set by every country. Nurses are required to fulfill those
requirements. RN is also considered to be professional nurses who will follow standards of
nursing and principles of code of conduct (Norful, Martsolf, Jacq, & Poghosyan, 2017).
Leadership qualities are also included in nursing. This will enhance personal as well as
professional skills of nurses. Nurses are responsible for undertaking different leadership
styles to solve or control situations. A registered nurse is also responsible for teaching
students and evaluating their results (ANA, 2020). In this essay leadership styles are been
identified. Outline of responsibilities of Registered Nurse and methods to provide quality care
will also be presented. There are different standards of practice of registered nursing that will
also be demonstrated.
Leadership Style
Leadership is the quality that can help a person in leading the team or group of
people. Effective leaders are an important part of the organization or any other department.
Effective leaders can also create a vision and inspire other employees or people, they also
motivate people, they are also responsible for managing the operations, and they also help in
building a team for achieving targets (Asamani, 2016). There are several types of
leadership styles that are followed in the healthcare department. These leadership styles are
transformational leadership, autocratic leadership, Laissez-faire leadership, and democratic
leadership and Servant leadership. Nurse leaders are responsible for setting an example for

other staff members. It can also have a negative or positive effect on the department (Della,
Ang, & Goh, 2016).
Autocratic Leadership
The autocratic leadership style is used by Registered Nurses in hospitals. In this
leadership, style leaders are not dependable on anybody. They make decisions according to
their understanding of the situation and the health of the patient. They did not consider any
advice or inputs from the staff of the hospital. Certain rules have to follow by nurses. In this
leadership style rules are often rules on nurses by negative reinforcement or punishments.
There are times when critical or important information regarding any treatment of the health
of the patient is withheld by the team and it has not to reach the particular nurse
(Dyczkowska & Dyczkowski, 2018). Mistakes are not tolerated in this leadership style
and blame is put on nurses without following any process. But there are also some positive
impacts of this leadership style as well. His leadership style can be effectively used in
emergencies because in those situations there is less time for decision making. By enforcing
rules and regulations public health and quality of care can be maintained. But this leadership
style does not help in the enhancement of trust and loyalty among staff members (AANAC
Extras, 2014).
Democratic leadership
The democratic style is also used by registered nurses in hospitals. In this leadership,
nurses fill the communication gap between nurses and patients or management. This
leadership style helps in the enhancement of open communication and staff participation. In
this leadership, decisions are also taken by taking advice from staff members.
Responsibilities are also divided among nurses and they are also held accountable for their
actions. Feedback is also included in this leadership style because improvements in the
department are implemented on this basis. Relationships are given importance in this
