Registered nurse managers are the frontliners of all the nursing staff and supervise them. Besides guiding nurses, these natural-born leaders try to adopt new practices and creative ideas to improve the organization or facility. They are the primary bridge between upper-level management and lower-level staff.
They don't just have a single role to play; they have to deliver the best patient care and collaborate with physicians and other medical specialists to treat patients' well-being. Plus, they make budgetary and management decisions, set work schedules, and coordinate meetings. They have double duties to perform, one of the patients and another of the nursing staff.
It is a highly paid job that enables you to make $32.00 per hour, making exactly $66,554 in one year. With a growth rate of 12%, it demands 40 working hours every week. So, if you want to choose a registered nurse manager as a profession, get a bachelor's or an associate degree in nursing. You should also try to develop some leading, health, and patient care skills.
