Using an interview guide to identify effective nurse managers: phase II, outcomes.

The investigators report validation of a survey tool called the Interview Guide to assist in the selection of nurses who will be effective as managers. Nurse administrators rated nurse managers at six months and two years after hire. The Interview Guide rated the management qualities "seeing the big picture" and potential for "rehire" as the best predictors of managerial success. After two years, a good "self-concept" or a "flexible attitude" was the best predictor. The ability to manage conflict was the most significant competency for predicting rehire at both six months and two years.

First-line nurse managers in the expanded role. An ethnographic analysis.

Authority, accountability, and responsibility invested in first-line nurse managers in acute care hospitals has significantly increased in the past 15 years, creating a role many nurse executives consider pivotal for achieving organizational goals. Little empirical data are available concerning these reorganized roles. In this ethnographic analysis, the author examines beliefs, values, and behaviors of nurse managers considered effective and successful in their practice and the implications of these characteristics for manager selection and development.
