also some nurse managers find it helpful to obtain Masters in

Nurse Administrators (Nurse org, 2020)
Essential responsibilities of a nurse managers include
administrative meetings, working with new employees, serving
in different committees throughout the hospital, interviewing
and hiring of new nurses, acting as a liaison between hospital
management and employees, collaborating with medical
employees, managing unit budget, handling of disciplinary
actions to those who have erred, ensuring that the mission of the
hospital is maintained by the employees, set work schedules,
oversee patient care, etc.(nurse org, 2020)
Leadership traits are those personal traits needed to be
successful as a nurse manager include, advocacy, to speak up
for her employees and the patients, should be able to participate
in patients care and also in management meetings, he/she should
be supportive of her staff and should also be mature in her
judgement, strong communication skill is a trait that a nurse
manager should possess, he/she should be able to communicate
the hospital decision to her employees and also communicate
her employee’s concerns to the hospital management
(Duquesne, blog, 2017). The leadership style that I feel will

3. make the nurse manager to succeed in his/her job Is the
transformational style. Transformational leadership is a
leadership style that can inspire positive changes in those who
follow. Transformational leaders are generally energetic,
enthusiastic, and passionate. Not only are these leaders
concerned and involved in the process; they are also focused on
ensuring that every nurse under her car becomes the best nurse
they can ever be and also be successful in their nursing career.
(Cherry, 2020). In order to succeed, a nurse leader should have
qualities like listening, flexibility, organized. Be a problem
solver, leadership skill, analytical ability, empathetic,
confidence, decisiveness, confidence, etc. (nurse org, 2020)
