What is Through the Eyes of Nurse Managers in Long-Term Care: Identifying Perceived Competencies and Skills about?

Nurse managers (NMs) in long-term care supervise health care services for individuals with high acuity levels and numerous comorbidities. There is minimal research identifying NMs' skills and competencies as unit leaders within the long-term care environment. The current mixed-methods study identified NMs' leadership skills and competencies. Nineteen NMs with ≥5 years' long-term care management experience completed the Nurse Manager Inventory Tool and were individually interviewed. They rated their clinical skills at the competent level and their financial/strategic management skills at the novice level. All other skill categories, including leadership reflective practice, diversity, human resource leadership/management, relationship management, performance improvement, and problem solving, were rated at a competent level. Emergent interview qualitative themes included their visibility on the unit, trial and error learning, a sense of “aloneness” due to the absence of other RNs, NM position being a tough job, need for peer support, role modeling, and importance of supporting the resident through their “final journey.” [ __Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 44__ (5), 32–38.]
