Nurse leader

Description

Each student is to select a contemporary or historical figure outside the field of nursing who is thought of as a leader.

After reading works by or about the leader the student will discuss and document analysis of that individual as a leader, using all elements of the definition/description of leaders and leadership she or he developed as a guide.

In an attempt to better understand our own discipline and to address the criticisms that “there are no leaders in nursing today,” each student also will select a contemporary nursing person whom she or he considers to be a leader and conduct a similar analysis of that individual as a leader.

The leader can be the CNO or nursing leadership you have recently interviewed.

After thoroughly analyzing the selected nurse and non-nurse leaders, the student is to compare the two individuals as leaders. Conclusions about their effectiveness as leaders are to be drawn.

The comparison should be documented and discussed.

The comparison should be well documented and discussed. Students should prepare a 2-page summary as indicated above and submit to this location for facilitator review and feedback.
