Overview
All nurses are leaders. They not only support patients in doing what they are unable to do for themselves, but they also manage their care and lead them toward a vision and personal goal of better health. Most nurses find themselves in a position to lead a group of colleagues in a team or on a patient care unit. This course focuses on the skills needed to manage both the patient and the staff caring for an entire group of patients. Implementation of leadership and management strategies — such as conflict resolution, interprofessional communication, coaching, delegation, and assessment — is outlined and demonstrated in case examples.

 

Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
The purpose of this nursing leadership continuing education course is to inform nurses about the key elements of leadership, focusing particularly on skills that enable nurses to coordinate resources and achieve desired outcomes in patient care settings. These resources may be staff, technological, or financial in nature. After studying the information presented here, you will be able to:
  • Describe key aspects of the environment in which nurses assume leadership roles and functions, and how the climate influences caregiving and management practices
  • Depict the transitions that nurses make — either temporarily or permanently — from the role of caregiver to the role of leader or manager
  • Identify supervisory practices that promote good performance, workforce commitment, and professional satisfaction
  • Identify key skills that nurses should develop to excel as leaders and managers — whether they are managers for the shift or managers in full-time management positions
  • Describe important interpersonal and coaching skills, such as communication, delegation, and feedback, that promote mutual respect and solid teamwork
  • Discuss ways to evaluate outcomes at the end of your shift
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how to control costs on your unit
