Analysis of job functions of top level nurse executives in acute, home, and long-term care: implications for education.
The purpose of this study was to strengthen the empirical base for nursing administration curricula by analyzing the current job functions of top level nurse executives in acute, long-term, and home care settings. The survey of job functions was designed to identify the relative amount of "time spent" and "importance" attributed to the job activities of nurse executives. Course content areas providing preparation for key job responsibilities are identified, and recommendations for curriculum design are discussed.
