Chosen Nurse Leader
I opted the profession of a nurse and once got the chance to work in the male
rehabilitation ward. I worked at the position of a practice supervisor. I provided guidance and
supervision to several nurses for doing their duties & responsibilities as expected by the rehab
center management.
Personal Qualities in Chosen nurse leader
I provided due assistance to patients having severe disability, chronic illness and mental
health issues. This provided aid to the patients in maintaining their healthy lifestyles that can
help them in sustaining their lives in an effective manner. Further, I provided the service users
with a therapeutic environment so that they can effectively have a control over their addictions or
other sorts of chronic illness. I integrated and co-operated with the team members so that we can
collaboratively duly provide care to the patients.
Leadership Style of Chosen Nurse Leader
Transformational Leadership
While working within the male rehabilitation venter, I was duly able to transform the
behavioural patterns and attitudes of my patients by giving them the whole responsibility of their
situations. I delegated the tasks having lesser importance to the patients so that they could focus
upon rebuilding their personalities in an effective manner. With this, I aimed at distracting their
minds off their addictions.
Qualities showed by Nurse Leader aligned with NMC standards
During my work at the male rehabilitation centre, I showed utmost respect as well as
integrity at all the times.
