Abstract:
Frontline nurse leaders direct staff and unit systems while ensuring that quality, safe patient care is provided. It is unknown if frontline nurse leaders oriented with only on-the-job-training are competent and if a professional development program will improve their competencies. This project's purpose was to measure self-assessed competencies, using the Nurse Manager Inventory Tool, of 38 frontline nurse leaders. This project used a quasi-experimental design and utilized pre- and postsurvey for evaluation purposes of a leadership development curriculum.
