title: Teaching care as the essence of nursing administration.
abstract: Not all nurses in managerial positions care for their clients (nursing departments). It is imperative that nurses in managerial positions implement strategies that will enable all nurses to value care. By focusing a nursing management curriculum on care, nurse-managers will value care and incorporate care into their nursing departments. "Health care delivery systems of this nation are currently dominated by an industrial management model. . . . Such a model presents serious conflict with a care culture and nursing, having mastered the current management model, must now move to merge it with the essentials of a care culture. Only then will we create new nursing models which will be responsive to the health care needs of the 21st century".
