Success in the work of nursing administrators can be realized only if they have their own sphere of competency and authority. In the Hungarian management system, however, nursing administrators are only functional leaders; they do not have authority for decisionmaking nor do they have a major leadership role. Most hand in proposals and carry out decisions made by the general director/chief physician or other leaders of the hospital. Below, an overview of the present status of Hungarian nursing administrators and a suggested new structure of management that would provide nursing administrators with a full and independent right of decision, which would greatly improve the efficiency of nursing care.
The College for Health Workers was established in 1973 in Hungary with the aim to educate and train highly qualified healthcare workers to meet all the demands of special health care.

Below, how nurse researchers in Hungary proved this hypothesis.
