taught by Christy Hennessey, DNP, RNC-OB

Patients depend on nurses acting as leaders to advocate for patients, coworkers, and themselves, ensuring the medical team operates as a unit. Knowing which tasks to delegate, navigating problems in the workplace, and coordinating care between multiple specialties is not trivial and requires good preparation and reflection.

This course covers the essential leadership skills you will need as a nurse, including how to delegate tasks safely, navigate conflict, communicate effectively in every situation, and apply the cornerstones of professionalism in every scenario. You will also learn about management principles, cost-effective strategies for care, and the workings of healthcare organizations. Your educator Dr. Hennessey has over 20 years of health care experience. She will help you prepare for the leadership test and guide you the transition from nursing school to professional practice.

An adaptive learning algorithm, downloadable Cheat Sheets, and a NCLEX-style Qbank are part of the learning platform, boosting retention and understanding. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with comprehensive leadership skills, ready to make the step from student to full-fledged nurse.

FAQs

What is the definition of leadership in nursing and what is its importance?

In nursing leadership describes ability to inspire, influence, and motivate other health care professionals. The goal should be to get the highest possible potential out of the professionals during the collaboration in order to achieve the collective organizational goals. The nurse leader acts as a role model for others and for the health care system.
Clinical and bedside nurses use their leadership skills to provide patient care and to coordinate, lead and support other team members.

What are good leadership skills in nursing?

Nursing clinical leadership includes critical thinking, decision making, action, and advocacy. Nursing leaders should have hard and soft skills to carry out their tasks appropriately. Hard skills include advanced clinical skills and technical knowledge. Soft skills are the social skills needed to communicate and work effectively with colleagues and subordinates. Soft skills are developed during a nursing leader’s career.

How do nurses demonstrate leadership?

The best way to demonstrate leadership is to be proactive. That means react first in a crisis. You should also know how to delegate tasks and respecfully talk to other health care professionals. Also volunteer on a committee demonstrates leadership. Another important component is continuing education in general and in clinical knowledge.

What is nursing management and leadership?

Leadership and management in nursing differ in the role of nursing professionals. Nursing managers are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of nursing departments and supervising department staff. In detail, nursing management is the process of leading teams and nursing departments to ensure best practices and organization in patient care. In contrast, leaders typically supervise nursing teams and ensure the overall success of the department or hospital as a whole.
