Nursing management is a branch of the nursing field which focuses on managing nurses and

patient care standards. An effective nursing management program is critical for most facilities

which use nurses, such as hospitals, clinics, and residential care facilities. People in this field

often have both nursing and management experience, and they have typically received special

training to prepare them for employment as managers and supervisors.

People in the field of nursing management can supervise nurses and nursing programs in a

variety of ways. Some supervise entire facilities, delegating duties to individual departmental

supervisors. When amanagerlooks after the nursing staff at an entire hospital, issues like

consistency, standardized procedures, transfer protocols, and cooperation are often an important

part of the job.

Individual supervisors handle specific departments, such as radiology or theintensive care unit.

These nursing managers are responsible for maintaining staff in their departments, assigning

nurses to specific cases, and overseeing patient care to ensure that it remains at a high standard.

They may also be involved in the creation of nursing plans for specific patients, coordinating the

efforts of the nursing team to keep everyone abreast of developments in the patient's conditionand medical care.

Nurse Leadership vs. ManagementPrinter Friendly Version

Email A Friend

The terms leader and manager are sometimes used

interchangeably. Those of us who have worked for, or with, someone who is one and notthe other, will see the error in viewing those terms as synonymous. An individual can be a

great leader but not a manager. Conversely, an individual can be a manager but notpossess manyleadership skills.

What is the difference between nurse leadership versus management?

A leader often doesnt have delegated authority. The power that the leader has acquired

has come informally from others in the group. Leaders focus on empowering others, as well

as motivating, inspiring, and influencing others. A leader typically hasgood communication

and interpersonal skills. True leaders must be sincere and energetic. A leader may be a

risk-taker, but not to the extent that others feel that they are reckless.

A manager is provided with this status as a formal role which is given to him/her by

someone else. He/she has an assigned position within the

formal organization. A manager is expected to carry out specific duties and has definiteresponsibilities. Control over processes, decision-making, and the work of others are

included in the managers role.Good managers are skilledat coordinating resources, bothfinancial and personnel, following rules, and meeting the goals and objectives of the

organization. Control is a key element of the role. Good managers also use reward andpunishment effectively.

Although differences do exist, the roles can definitely overlap. The best case scenario is foran individual to have the best characteristics of both. All nurses are leaders and managers

at some level. We all strive for a balance between doing the right thing and doing thingsright. The rapid and dramatic changes in health care make these skills more important than

ever. Critical thinking skills, active listening skills, and good coping skills are essential at all

levels in todays nursing workforce.

Both leaders and managersneed to envision the futureand lead the way towards a

productive and efficient unit with satisfied personnel. We

can never stop seeking additional professional growth and opportunities to make adifference in our profession. There are many ways to accomplish this, including becoming

politically aware and active, reading professional journals, and attending continuing

education offerings relevant to our practice. No formal title of manager is required to dothese things. A good leader and a good manager will take advantage of these and other

opportunities.Nurses, please leave us a comment below or visit NurseTogether'sOn TheJobforum.

Coordinating Work

Effective coordination with the various sections of the hierarchy -- including top-level

managers and first-level managers -- is crucial to middle-level nursing management.

Without effective communication, the likelihood of running a cohesive operation

decreases. Middle-level nursing managers also assist with problem solving and decisionmaking for front-line managers. They also train new nurse recruits on how to handle

patients and administer medication.

Supervising Work

Middle-level nursing managers supervise the work of first-level managers within a

specific geographical area or related specialties; particularly, they supervise the activities

within their stipulated departments. The responsibility of those undertaking middle-level

nursing management duties extends up to 24 hours. Middle-level managers are involved

not only with the health facility's daily operations but also with the institution's long-term

plans and establishment of unit policies.
