Nursing Leaders In Nursing

Abstract
Leadership in nursing is an important role that facilitates the delivery of successful nursing care and patient satisfaction in the medical field. In every work atmosphere, there are always leaders and followers. Both contribute to building a safe and effective workplace. The leaders motivate staff members and inspire them to work up to a particular goal, while the followers are guided by the nursing leaders.

She is patient, yet stern, and extremely dedicated to improving the things that will help our hospital achieve its potential. Tiffany has always been a successful decision maker. Regardless of the problem, she is always able to think of a solution, and is able to follow through with her ideas for making things better. Her decision making skills always shine through in her practices on the floor as a nurse, as well as in her role as a clinical manager. Acting decisively involves making decisions that can produce desired outcomes quickly. Based on her nursing experience, Tiffany is able to make decisions and predict the outcome of those decisions before they are realized. These skills, along with Tiffany’s level-headed thinking, reflect her logical approach to decision making.
Effectiveness of a Motivating Leader
Tiffany has always been a very motivating nurse to work with. Whether it was for a patient, a coworker, or an administrator, she always found ways to motivate us all to achieve a specific outcome.

Tiffany can be very effective when dealing with conflict management, although I have also witnessed a few unsuccessful instances. Tiffany has strong opinions, which sometimes can lead to disagreements among hospitals staff.

Tiffany’s strong feelings prove to be effective when she stands up for what she believes in, and advocates for her patients, the nurses working for her, and our hospital.
As discussed, Tiffany is an example of an outstanding nursing leader. She possesses the qualities described which make her an effective leader. These qualities contribute to the growth and success of our hospital and our nursing unit. Between Tiffany’s dedication, and her inspiring and motivational work ethic, our hospital is surely on the right track to promoting a safe and effective work
