title: The causes and costs of promotion trauma.
abstract: Minimizing the stress that nurses experience after a promotion requires an understanding of the dynamics of fledgling managers. Middle roles such as theirs are inherently difficult. We need to be aware of what can happen in moving up the ladder--factors such as loneliness, other unmet needs and unclear job descriptions evoke unique stresses. Knowing these factors, nursing administrators can plan their programs to better support their managers in transition.
