Nurses
with their Masters in Nursing degree have a responsibility to provide
leadership in their workplace. This leadership may be formal or informal.
Your Masters may be in Clinical Nurse Leadership or Nursing
Administration (Executive Nurse Leadership). Nursing leaders offer a
unique perspective of patient care AND cost effectiveness of that care.
Whether your facility is a magnet designated facility, aspiring to become
one, or not, as a nursing leader you are in a position to advocate for quality
patient care. You have the patient care expertise, and a new cadre of
leadership skills to positively affect health care and its associated outcomes.
Key skills to put to use are: change management, conflict management,
collaboration, and communication. The "MSN" behind your name
wields power with the information you carry. Use these
leadership skills, and nurses can make a difference!
"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails." - John Maxwell.
