title: Nurses in management: new challenges, new opportunities.
abstract: Nurses are often constrained by the past as they grapple with the present and reach for the future. They must have a vision of the future, and nursing's place in it. Below is a glimpse of a new tomorrow that promises a significant role for nurses as nurse managers and as leaders in health policy development, general management and the broader health service. But, as Sally Shaw emphasizes, nurses must fullheartedly believe in that role and go after it.
