Core Competencies Role of the Advance Practice Nurse South University Tracey Swanson
January 30, 2019 ? “TFL is characterized by the ability to stimulate, inspire, and motivate
followers. Transformational leaders focus on building relationships with people and
creating change by emphasizing values. Most TLF literature in nursing focuses on clinical
practice with very little representation from academic nursing leadership” (Giddens, 2017).
? This quote applies to our category of Health Promotion by inspiring and motivating
followers. It is imperative to communicate effectively and build trusting relationships to
inspire change in others. In our journey to pursue an Advanced Nursing Practice degree
there is a focus on Transformational Leadership as evidenced by this very project.

of staff ? They interview and hire nurses ? They develop departmental budgets
CONTINUATION ? A nurse manager is involved in patient care indirectly and directly. ? Role:
staff ? Role: administrative liaison ? Role: guideline or policy adherence CORE
COMPETENCIES CONTINUES ? Guida nce & Coa ching : Guidance can apply to team
members during consultation or it can apply to patient education delivery. As a nurse
manager they would guide their employees to make the correct choices and take the correct
action. Then they would coach them through doing just that in the future ? Consulta tion:
This requires understanding the patient’s needs, your own scope of practice, and
community or facility resources. The nurse manager applies this same principal to the team.
When the team is in need of different things the nurse manager can consult bringing in
different people to increase their environment. CORE COMPETENCIES CONTINUES ? E B P :
This keeps treatment regimes, procedures and policies to be the most forward thinking
based on research (Hamric, 2014). A nurse manager can constantly stay up to date with
evidenced base practice to set the standards for the unit and to help administration keep
their policies up to date with the newest research. ? L ea dership: Teams are only as good as
their leader. In healthcare everyone is a team looking to make a difference. Nurse managers
shape and lead their teams. CORE COMPETENCIES CONTINUES ? Colla bora tion: Teamwork
is essential in healthcare. Many providers and ancillary staff must come together to reach
goals of patient care. ? E thica l Decision M a king : When caring for patient’s indirectly or
directly ethics will come into play. It is important in conjunction with the other core
competencies the best choice will be made. A nurse manager can apply this principle to
either staff members or patient care. ? Direct Clinica l P ra ctice: This competency can be
termed as the competency that dictates all others. It affects all others because in order to
complete any of the other competencies one must possess clinical practice knowledge
(Hamric, 2014). APN’s specifically nurse managers are able to manage and shape the clinical
practices of all nurses they supervise. This allows them to have a large impact on multiple
nurses and their practice delivered to patients. Week 2 project revision DiscussionFOUR

DiscussionTransformational Leadership can lay the groundwork for further positive
changes through effective communication. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP ?
Transformational Leadership can “inspire higher levels of motivation and it satisfies the
needs of the leader and the follower”(Hamric, p. 272). ? According to Hamric, the leadership
style of Transformational Leadership is associated with effective changes. ? It would seem
that this may be the most effective style of leadership for change due to education, trust, and

has been demonstrated in the PowerPoint presentation by providing accurate and up to
date information. In doing so, it may be beneficial to patient outcomes by providing
information to make good health care choices. COLLABORATION ? The presence or absence
of collaboration can affect quality and cost of patient care. ? The use of collaboration in the
