Lesson 13: The Future of Nursing Leadership

Discuss where you see nursing leadership moving toward in the next five and ten years.

I see nursing leadership heading in a more education-centered direction in general. In the past, many nurse managers in hospitals were promoted to their positions based on their ability to perform patient care instead of on any leadership skills that they may have possessed. Many nurse managers' education may have previously ended at an Associate Degree level. I think that more nurse managers and nurse leaders will have much more formal education, and that nurse leaders will continue to encourage other nurses to continue their formal education as well in order to improve patient outcomes.
