Leadership Skills and Management
This a Continued Education Course for Medical Professionals.
The nature of the professional nurse is built on leadership. Throughout healthcare, regardless of a nurse’s role or practice setting, nurses are looked to as leaders (Williamson, 2017). In the healthcare team, nurses lead ancillary groups, oversee care teams, and are accountable for patient care outcomes (Williamson, 2017). What is management? What makes it differ from leadership? Management can exists without the presence of leadership, but a manager that possesses both leadership and management skills is a more effective leader. Though leadership and management seem interchangeable, anyone can be a manager or a leader, but not everyone can be effective without leadership skills and qualities. This course will discuss the roles and attributes that are necessary for effective nursing leaders.

Conclusion
Being a nurse, is a call to leadership that moves everyone to a higher level of responsibility and accountability, with or without a management title (Williamson, 2017). Every nurse is a leader not matter what your job title is, every nurse has a voice and an impact from staff nurse to Chief nursing officer (CNO). This is even more important with the way that healthcare is moving and changing. The nursing profession must strive to develop and replicate healthy management and leadership skills to push forward as a profession and maintain our professional growth and development (Williamson, 2017). This will entail nurses to stay informed on healthcare legislation, explore nursing professional journals and join nursing organizations to continue to advance our education and leadership (Williamson, 2017). It is not in question that nurses are visionaries, critical thinkers, skilled communicators and teachers- but now more than ever, leaders should be added to the list of attribute if it wasn’t on your list before. A nurse is a leader in any capacity that they work, from a formal leadership role, manager to bedside nurse- all nurse have the power to influence, serve and inspire those they work with. Great leaders make nursing one of the most trusted professions, and the most desired professions to be a part of- that’s why it’s great to be a nurse!
