Nurse manager job satisfaction and retention: A home healthcare perspective

摘要

Nurse managers are essential for the success of organizational missions and objectives. The expectation is that nurse managers are adept at financial management, negotiation, staff recruitment and development, conflict resolution, technologic advancements, and leadership. Nurse managers have a primary responsibility of ensuring that adequate nursing staff members are available to provide quality patient care. Supportive behaviors to promote clinical nurse autonomy and development, enhance nurse-physician relationships, and improve nursing competence are also expectations. Despite the essential role of nurse managers, increasingly complex and demanding healthcare environments are contributing to their overwork, stress, and dissatisfaction.
