Identifying the right nurse manager. An objective selection process.
Over the past 3 years, 15 successful nurse managers have been chosen using an objective selection process developed by the authors. A process to help the nurse executive answer the question, Am I choosing the right person for this job? is described. Through the use of an applicant assessment process, a candidate's leadership ability is revealed, and subjectivity in selection is considerably reduced.
