dc.description.abstractThe nurse manager (NM) role is an increasingly complex and vital role, providing a link between patients, staff, and the larger health system. Experienced nurses who demonstrate clinical expertise are often promoted to the NM role without prior leadership experience or training. As such, the transition from frontline nursing into this role can present significant challenges, leading to decreased job satisfaction, attrition, and poor staff and patient outcomes. Five new NMs were interviewed to gain an understanding of their experience with role transition. Based upon these conversations, this study found that moving from a frontline nursing role to that of an NM presented unique challenges in terms of negotiating a new professional identity, shifting personal and professional relationships, and setting reasonable expectations and boundaries within a new and unfamiliar context.
