Literature Synopsis
The literature review has revealed CNs are not considered formal leaders and therefore, lack education, training, and mentorship to take on the clinical and administrative duties they are tasked with during their shifts. CNs deal with issues including but not limited to conflict resolution, patient care delivery and meeting organizational needs. This results in meeting competing demands and can lead to ineffective leadership. Most of CN training occurs on the job and ongoing education and leadership training is limited or non-existent. Many of the studies in this project highlighted the importance of ongoing education and mentorship of CNs towards their development as leaders.
Without leadership training, CNs cannot grow as frontline leaders and integrate TL strategies, and this has been shown to negatively impact patient care outcomes and impact job satisfaction and retention rates. The CN is the most accessible and present leader at the bedside and frontline. CNs spend their entire shifts managing competing demands, while providing undertaking patient assignments in most cases. This contributes to role ambiguity and is a barrier to undertaking TL strategies to be effective leaders. Therefore, their ability to effectively lead and communicate within their units and organizations is compromised. This is a matter that requires due attention towards addressing deficiencies within the current healthcare system and building stronger frontline leaders in the future.
The nursing landscape is undergoing significant changes with record number of nurses leaving the profession due to burnout and the current global pandemic. Skill development in communication is a strategy to contribute to the leadership capabilities of CNs. Providing them with necessary skills such as communication is central to their leadership development and ability to do their jobs. When they are provided the tools to succeed and work within an environment that is empowering, this increases job satisfaction and retention of CNs and those that work with them.
