- Motivating staff with a shared vision and enthusiasm to achieve better outcomes for themselves and for their patients.
- Promoting and enhancing the image of nursing within the organization, the community, and the profession.
- Being accessible, available, and responsive to the needs of their team
- Problem-solving and encouraging critical thinking.
- Ensuring that the needs of the teams are communicated to organization leadership and organizational priorities, and directions are communicated to their teams.
