NSG 470 Leadership, Management and Current Professional Issues in Nursing

Select and arrange to interview a nurse leader. This may be a nurse leader from your work, a hospital, an educator, a friend, but the nurse must hold a leadership position.

Possible interview questions, but you may create your own:

When was the activity completed?

· Name of the person interviewed? Job title and job description based upon interview questions.

· What was the reason for selecting this nurse leader for the interview?

· What were the objectives of the interview? (you should write objectives if you are interviewing a leader and share them at the beginning of the interview)

· What is the nurse leader’s leadership style?

· What are some of your leadership strengths and weaknesses?

· Has there been a situation during your career when you made a communication error? If so, how did you resolve it?

· How would you resolve a conflict with a coworker, patient, or physician?

· How do you manage stress at work?

· What do you believe is the role of leadership in fostering a health workplace?

· How does critical thinking influence decision-making observed during the activity or for the person interviewed? (you will have to prepare for this by looking up critical thinking skills)

· How is teamwork and collaboration fostered?

What essential communication skills did you use during the interview? Provide a specific example?
