American Sentinel University’s Blog Series Reveals Secrets of Effective Nurse Leaders

AURORA, Colo. (PRUnderground) May 9th, 2017
American Sentinel University’s new four-part blog series ‘Secrets of Effective Nurse Leaders’ is available at https://www.americansentinel.edu/blog/tag/Secrets-Nurse-Leaders/ as part of the university’s ‘The Sentinel Watch’ healthcare blog. The series explores the four key leadership skills all effective nurse leaders must possess to climb the career ladder.
“There is growing pressure for healthcare organizations to operate more efficiently. Educated and experienced nurse leaders must be equipped with the right skillset to lead change, manage teams and patient care, promote organizational goals, and shape the future of nursing,” says Elaine Foster, Ph.D., MSN, RN, Dean of Nursing and Healthcare Programs at American Sentinel University. “These proficiencies are gained through advanced education, experience and mentoring.”
The blog series explores some of the secrets of effective nurse leaders and how they transition into nursing management and organizational leadership positions in their healthcare facilities.
Dr. Foster says nurse professionals are well educated in clinical skills and the principles of nursing practice. During their education, nurses often receive little to no training in leadership skills, and this is in stark contrast to leadership principles that are routinely taught in business schools and other types of vocational programs.
“Even so, many nurses leave the bedside and rise to positions at the management or executive level,” she says.
The ‘Secrets of Effective Nurse Leaders’ blog series will run through May 23, 2017.
