title: Nurse manager competencies.
abstract: First-line nurse managers play a critical management role because they greatly influence the success of healthcare organizations. Several studies have profiled the first-line nurse manager, but have focused on the characteristics and responsibilities of these individuals. This study delineated and identified specific behavioral competencies that are considered important for hospital-based nurse manager effectiveness. The results of the survey are relevant for the selection, preparation, and development of effective hospital-based nurse managers.
