Nursing Leadership and Communications

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that nursing in the 21st century will require a more direct focus on leadership and communication skills. As the baby-boomer generation begins to retire and enter their elderly years, nursing will be tasked with a growing number of patients that require specialized care. This fact, coupled with the evidence that there is already a nursing shortage throughout the world, will force modern nurses to contemplate leadership skills, as well as their ability to successfully communicate with patients and staff to ensure that quality care remains the profession's first priority.
