NURS 300 Professional Transitions In Nursing

In Huston (2010) brief, but impressive article (required reading this week), the author outlines several leadership competencies that EVERY nurse leader will need for 2020. That year is not too far in the future, is it?

Select one of the eight leadership competencies Huston described and relate it to your own leadership of nurses and nursing. This should promote a robust discussion as we come from different clinical and nonclinical perspectives.

Discuss how the BSN-prepared nurse can assist a nurse leader in the budgeting process by contributing data readily available to the staff nurse.

Future Leaders

According to Carol Huston, the president of the international nursing society and an American nursing professor gave out her views about the nursing world. She outlined the leadership competencies that would be required by the nursing leaders in by 2020.I believe that according to these competencies, team building skills is very important. According to Huston, by the year 2020, the health sector will be more characterized by nurses and experts from different disciplines. This will however not make teamwork easier. The thenurse leader, therefore, is required to have team building skills so as to create a team of these experts. Team building has become a daily activity in the nursing sector (Hubbard, 2010). The nurses who are leaders should be in a position to see things in a different perspective. They should have a better understanding of the whole unit.

A BSN-prepared nurse leader has a lot of advantage, a study showed that patients that were treated by a BSN- prepared nurse had a high chance of survival; they also do have high credibility and more career opportunities (Grossman & valid, 2016). In addition, he or she can assist in the budgeting process. These nurse leaders also play a vital role in the budgeting and financial management in the healthcare system. A BSN-prepared nurse controls the supply and personnel costs. He or she collaborates with the staff nurses who already have the data in the budgeting process
