Gearing Up for Management by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, Cardillo & Associates

Gearing Up for Management
by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA

Are you a staff nurse who aspires to someday move into a supervisory role? Would you like to eventually work in nursing or health care administration? Are you considering a leadership role in a professional association or community group? Here are some steps to get you moving in the right direction.

Have a heart-to-heart talk with your supervisor. Let your supervisor know about your aspirations, and ask for assignments that would help prepare you for that role. Ask your supervisor how he or she got started and what was learned along the way. You can have this discussion during an annual evaluation — or, better yet, make a special appointment to sit down and discuss your career goals.

Work on your formal education. A bachelor’s degree is a minimum requirement for most management positions. Having a master’s degree will give you a competitive edge. It’s not just the credential that’s helpful here; it’s the knowledge and skill you’ll acquire pursuing that degree. Nurse managers hold a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees these days, including those in nursing, business, health care management, and public health. There’s no one “right” degree to have.

Through continuing education and self directed professional growth, health care providers are better prepared to deliver quality care to their patients.

It's Academic: Studies Spur Push To BSN-in-10 | National Nursing News

What do Canada, Sweden, Portugal, Brazil, Iceland, Korea, Greece and the Philippines have in common? They are just some of the countries that require a four-year undergraduate degree to practice as an RN — a move some believe is necessary to create a more-informed, higher-skilled nursing work force. Similar initiatives have been awaiting approval in the New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island legislatures for the past two years. Although they have yet to pass, states across the country are taking notice. With reports of as many as 18 states preparing some type of initiative requiring newly graduated RNs to obtain a BSN in order to maintain their licensure, the idea is gaining momentum.

As associate director, state government affairs for the Silver Spring, Md.-based American Nurses Association, Janet Haebler, RN, MSN, is no stranger to the debate over minimum licensure requirements. In 1964, ANA’s House of Delegates designed a position statement calling for all nurses to advance their education in order to improve competencies. However, Haebler says, the ANA does not endorse state legislation. “We endorse the concept,” she says.

Nursing Education Research Funding 'Frustratingly Low,' NLN Says on ADVANCE for Nurses

The level of funding for nursing education research remains frustratingly low, and new and expanded sources are urgently needed, says the National League for Nursing (NLN) in a new analysis of its own grant program for nursing education research published in the most recent edition of in NLN's Nursing Education Perspectives.

"The level of funding for nursing education research remains frustratingly low, and new and expanded sources are urgently needed," the author's say.

These are among the conclusions in "Advancing Nursing Education Science: An Analysis of the NLN's Grant Program, 2008-2010," the NLN's respected peer-reviewed research journal. While the NLN is among the few supporters of research in nursing education, authors noted, the commitment to scholarship is critical if the future nursing workforce is to be adequately prepared to safeguard patient care in a complex, dynamic health care environment.

The study, "Advancing Nursing Education Science: An Analysis of the NLN's Grant Program, 2008-2010,"  was co-authored by Joanne R. Duffy, PhD, RN, FAAN, a professor at Indiana University School of Nursing in Indianapolis and immediate past chair of the NLN's Nursing Education Research Advisory Council (NERAC), the panel that oversees and awards the grants; NERAC's current chair, Marilyn Frenn, PhD, RN, CNE, ANEF, an associate professor at Marquette University in Milwaukee; and Barbara Patterson, PhD, RN, a professor at Widner University School of Nursing in Chester, Pennsylvania who sits on NERAC.
