Select three opportunities to observe interactions by the nurse manager of the unit where you are doing your clinical rotation or where you are a new graduate nurse. These opportunities could be during a unit staff meeting, when the nurse manager makes rounds, and during conversation with others at the nurses' station. Which of the following nurse management functions do you see your unit nurse manager performing?

 –Managing the work–Planning and organizing– Problem solving– Clarifying roles and objectives– Informing– Monitoring– Consulting– Delegating

 –Managing relationships– Networking– Supporting– Developing and mentoring– Managing conflict and team building– Motivating and inspiring– Recognizing and rewarding

In contrast, middle‐level managers, usually called nursing directors, spend less time in direct supervision and more time in the other managerial roles or functions, particularly, planning and coordinating. At the highest level of the organization, usually described as the executive level, planning and being a generalist are greatly expanded role functions. Direct supervision is not a major aspect of the executive role as it is in the other two levels. Nurses in executive‐level roles in health care organizations usually have the title Chief Nurse Executive or Chief Nursing Officer or, in acute care hospitals, the title may be Vice President of Patient Care Services.
