Top Ranked Schools of Nursing: the role of the dean.
The Top Ranked School of Nursing Study (TRSN) was a nationwide investigation for the purpose of delineating a composite of elements that constitute a top ranked school. The role of the dean was identified as the most frequent, if not the most significant, element of administration. The influence and scope of the administration in a TRSN were described as were the ways in which these endeavors are pursued and supported. The findings will be of benefit to anyone interested in promoting and improving nursing scholarship.
