This is contradictory to the Meta analysis of Cummings (2009), as several studies have shown importance of the role of nurse supervisors particularly in causing retention or turnover of nurses. Nurse leaders in those countries are treated at par with doctors and administrators and nurses treat them as management representatives. In India nurses do not enjoy superior positions (George, 2005; Nair & Healey, 2006; Gill, 2009) and thus nursing supervisors are treated usually as a senior member of the team and not at par with the administrator or doctor (Dileep Kumar, 2005). Since nurse leaders do not enjoy the authority among nurses in India unlike to their western counterpart, perceived organizational support has emerged as major determining factor of affective

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has a strong stance on nurses and leadership. They believe that nurses are a vital component to health care system and nurses in leadership roles can have a positive impact on such. Nurses are in all sorts of roles within the health care systems ranging from a staff nurse, nurse managers, to advance practice, all the way to congress (Finkelman & Kenner, 2013). In addition, they even serve in the boardroom within some health care organizations. Leadership doesn’t necessarily mean a nurse in a manager position, but a nurse who has an influence on staff.

The authors O’Grady and VanGraafeiland (2012) provide informative insight into the role of the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) in bridging the gap in health care. The CNL role includes nine broad dimensions: 1) team manager, 2) educator, 3) client advocate, 4) clinician, 5) outcomes manager, 6) information manager, 7) systems analyst/risk anticipator, 8) member of the profession, and 9) lifelong learner (O’Grady & VanGraafeiland, 2012). Through the use of the nine dimensions the CBL may perform such roles as Communicator, Facilitator, Counselor, Teacher, Critical Thinker, Advocate, Change Agent and Diplomat (Marquis, B. L., 2014).

Clinical Nurse Leader As today 's healthcare advances, so must the roles of today 's nurses. One new nursing role is that of the clinical nurse leader. Masters (2014) defines the clinical nurse leader as "an advanced generalist role prepared at the master 's level of education" (pg 378). After successfully graduating from the master 's degree program, the nurse must also pass a certification test set forth by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing to become a clinical nurse leader (Fidel 2015).

The psychological test which I found most interesting was the Likert scale. It can be used to access many questions at once and be distributed to a large range of people. I liked that this test can be used to access various attitudes people may have about numerous topics. While using the Likert Scale you can reverse score questions. This means that when someone is answering your questions you can actually see if, they are taking them seriously.

Nursing managers and leaders play a critical role in influencing the safety and quality of healthcare services on offer as well as the business of healthcare institutions. The managers and leaders individually strive towards influencing the behavior of the rest of the nursing personnel to provide direct, professional and individualized nursing care. Thus, although both of them play a mediated role, their responsibilities and style of accomplishing tasks within a health organization may differ. In practice, nursing managers and leaders are likely to employ significantly different approaches in identifying and exploiting resources within an institution and in resolving issues that may be threatening the operations of a healthcare institution.

To demonstrate a plan of reliability and validity, a 5-point Likert scale survey and document review should be conducted by experts to ensure valid and reliable facts are obtained first. I will then use the Likert scale, to collect the data, which is a very reliable reliability method because respondents will give consistent information without the fear of losing their jobs and consistent information about various concerns of lawsuits against the “Eagle Memorial Nursing Center” (EMNC). In conclusion, conducting the 5-point Likert scale survey is a very reliable method of gathering data to demonstrate reliability because of the consistent data that the Likert scale survey provides. (See Appendix A ) An assessment of the respondent’s level of understanding should be carried out next to ensure the Likert scale used are not misunderstood (Cooper, 2010, p.39-40).

The literature support for this project consists of analysis of several studies that examine the impact on access to care for those who live with a minimum of one health condition, and have limited income. Further, the studies examine these impacts on both those less than 65 years-old, and those 65 years-old and greater. Last, the impact of access to transportation is examined with regard to its impact on access to care (access). These issues are contrasted with how telemedicine can improve access for this patient population.

The LPC questionnaire contained questions which asked employees to rate their co-workers from one(least enjoyed working with) to eight(most enjoyed working with) based on how pleasant, effective and supportive are their co-workers. For employees who judged their co-workers as least enjoyed working with the researcher would label them more likely as a relationship oriented employee and if the employees label their co-workers as most enjoyed working with the researcher would label them as task oriented employees. Results show that 16 percent of the employees were in the middle range while 84 percent of the employees were either low or high in their LPC score. After the study Fiedler found out that there are three factors that affect the way that a leader could identify himself or herself in a situation. One factor is leader to member relations which is the level of trust,confidence and esteem between the leaders and the individuals.
