title: The human resource consultant in nursing.
abstract: The authors have developed a role that supports nurse managers in developing their management skills and effectiveness. Nursing administrators will find the role useful because it provides a different avenue for the strategic planning of change. The role and examples of its use in the support of nursing are described. Considerations in operationalizing this role in a nursing organization also are discussed.
