NURSING LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
The nurse manager and the nurse leaders are the key members who contribute to re-
engineering healthcare system to keep the system in motion and acts as a role model of other
nurses. The nurse manager along with the nurse leader and other team members work
towards the same goal of delivering patient-centered care and a well-engineered healthcare
system (Liberati et al., 2015). The nurse managers and the nurse leader are involved in ethical
decision making, staff management, case management, recruitment of suitable candidates,
treatment planning, scheduling, discharge planning, budgeting, mentoring, records
management and developing educational plans. The justify the critical role of the nurse
manager and nurse leaders, they must possess potential leadership skill and strong
communication (McCabe & Sambrook, 2014). They should be an expert in coordinating
resources and meeting goals and as well as objectives while maintaining a good balance with
other nursing staffs.
Additionally, the nurse manager is expected to use more of influence and less of authority
and power, thus taking care of motivation and persuasion. The nurse managers are involved
in implementing regulatory guidelines set by U.s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Joint Commission to attain patient safety
and well being. To establish a compassionate healthcare setting, the nurse leader can adopt
three approaches such as leading the healthcare providers from the front, nurturing the
healthcare providers by giving effective instruction and creating professional ties with other
health care facilities so that his or her setting can be re-engineered with some advanced
technology. It’s the duty of nurse manager or nurse leaders to shape and motivate the
healthcare providers to achieve greater limits during service delivery.
