Nursing Leadership: Challenges and Opportunities

Edward O’Neil, PhD, MPA

The challenges facing nursing both from within and outside the profession are growing. To respond, all dimensions of the profession—education, direct care, and public health—must develop new ways of organizing and delivering their services. To create and manage such transitions will require nurses to develop and deploy new leadership skills. This article reviews what one set of such competencies might comprise and how one program, the Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellows Program, has been built on the development of such skills in nurse leaders.

Key Words: nursing • leadership • leadership challenges in health care • nursing shortage
