title: Nursing directors. Great barrier reach.
abstract: A survey of nurse directors showed that only half of those who had applied for chief executive posts had been shortlisted. As many as 70 per cent of respondents said that nurse directors are prevented from becoming chief executives because they are stigmatized. Gender was identified as a barrier by 43 per cent of respondents.
