The role of the nurse administrator has evolved into a dramatic new influence in quality care. Compared to the role enacted just a few decades ago, nurse administrators now face increasing challenges and opportunities in technological, regulatory, and professional elements. This module discusses the major influences that have shaped nursing leadership, as well as the impact of evidence-based practice in promoting safety and quality patient and health work environments. Differences between leading and managing are explored, as well as the expected competencies.
During this practicum course students also experience opportunities to develop advanced in-depth knowledge and expertise in a particular area of nursing that includes graduate-level clinical practice content and experiences. During this course students will demonstrate 40 of the required 120 practicum hours. The practicum hours will be associated with the practicum project created by the student.
This module focuses on how nurses develop themselves personally and professionally as leaders. The areas of development to be examined include the leader’s characteristics, successful leadership behaviors, particularly appropriate for healthcare professionals, and additional factors that influence and facilitate leadership, such as attitude, motivation, failures, intentions, individual self-reflection emotional intelligence. This module focuses on exploring the people skills of good leaders, self-development, and continued growth in all leadership areas.
This module focuses on recognizing specific aspects of ethics, legal and regulatory, compliance and various forms of authority, and organizational environments and communication, including developing specific skills that change and enhance communication, improving written communication, and addressing multiple situations.
In this module, the student will continue working on their practicum project. A review of the literature will be completed to identify current best practices for addressing the problem area identified in Module 1. Information from the literature will be used to design the intervention to address the problem. The student will devote 30 hours towards the review of the literature throughout this module and the next. An annotated bibliography demonstrating the review of literature will be due in Module 5.
This module provides an overview of qualifications, education, certification, knowledge, skills, and nursing administration abilities. Standards of nursing administration practice will be introduced, and issues and trends are addressed.
In this module, the student will continue working on their practicum project. Using information obtained from the literature review the student will collaborate with members of the health care team to develop a project plan for addressing the identified problem.

Nurse Administrator
Nurse administrators are trained registered nurses who take collaborative, managerial, and leadership roles. They work with hospital administrators, including the facility’s CEO, to make decisions affecting staffing, scheduling, and other organizational aspects of nursing. They are responsible for hiring, budgeting, and scheduling nurses in a health care facility. They also facilitate communication with physicians and high- ranking executives to ensure the nurses’ voices are heard. (ANA, 2023). The qualifications are solid background of clinical experience and well-developed sense that helps them see the bottom line, enforce policies, and represent nursing staff effectively to the rest of the organization. Education and certification are important requirements a well. Personally, I was lucky enough to have three certifications which are CCRN, PCCN and CVRN. It was all hard work and different kind of nervous. I wanted to have all those certifications because I believe that I should always continue learning and be up to date to all the latest trends, also it increases the knowledge, skills, abilities as nurse and plus for being a nursing administrator. The nurse administrator should be able to fixed issues that is attainable within a certain time frame and as mentioned, to be always up to date on the latest trends through advance education, seminars and conference. The standards of nursing administration are:
Accountability and advocacy for employees
Clinical care delivery and optimal patient outcomes
Healthy work environments
Legal and regulatory compliance
Networking, partnering and collaborating
Patient and population health advocacy
Safety, quality and risk management
Strategic, financial and human resource management

Greetings everyone. We are halfway! This week’s discussion has us reflecting on the qualifications, skills, and education of a nurse manager. Just last week I was preparing and reviewing my resume both in anticipation of graduating this year from our MSN program and as a much-needed refresh. The process had me wondering what the type of skills employers are look for in a nurse manager? Here is what I have found: Successful managers have critical thinking skills, are empathetic, can participate in and mitigate conflict resolution easily, and are often superb communicators. The eleven years under my belt as a nurse with charge nurse and clinical nurse III experience has allowed for me to practice all of these skills. Nurse managers may hold an MSN or an MHA (Master of Healthcare Administration). Certifications in leadership or healthcare management are particularly helpful to these leaders.
Currently there is a newly opened nurse manager position in our office and while I have been preparing for this role there is some natural hesitation and genuine concern that maybe I am not suited for this position. Here are some of the listing requirements from the job posting:
Minimum five (5) years of RN experience either in a hospital or clinic setting
Must have managerial experience and mentoring of junior team members
Proven leader with a track record of providing extraordinary patient care and customer service
Excellent communication and writing skills
Independence and autonomy, when necessary, as well as the ability to work seamlessly as part of a team
Flexibility and willingness to occasionally work after hours or on weekends, if necessary
Advanced computer literacy, primarily with Apple products (we are a fully iOS/Mac environment) and a diverse knowledge of EMR/EHRs (we currently use Elation for our EHR as it is compatible with Apple products)
I am trying to lean on my CN III and Charge Nurse experience for managerial experience, but it feels like a stretch! I am interested to know more if how some of you have obtained managerial experience without holding a manger titled position. Like I said I am working on comprising a suitable resume to apply for this position. I also think the interview experience would be valuable to go through the motions and build confidence.
