Nursing Manager Inventory Skills

Nurse Manager Inventory skills

In the medical field, both nurse managers and leaders play a vital role and ensure the provision of high-quality care services. Keeping their role in mind, it has been witnessed that nurse managers it is important for a nurse-manager to develop all the essential leadership abilities and competencies. It would help them in performing the assigned duties in the best possible way. Being a nurse manager, the following are my strengths and weakness in the given areas:

Personal and professional accountability

Strengths:

• Personal growth and development should be focused on, when professional accountability is concerned. Personal growth includes continuing education, planning of career, action plans and annual self-assessment (Keogh,et,al,2019). My personal growth and development are one of my basic strengthens as I used to check my annual performance.
• I held myself responsible for the whole year’s performance and point areas that should be worked on.
• My next strength in the area of personal and professional accountability is that I do my annual self-assessment that not only helps me but also helps in providing best services to others.
• I practice all those things that support nursing standards.
• I have proper certification in my field.

Weakness:

• I used to have but at present, I don’t have an association with a professional association.
• I am focusing on education advancement but at present education continuation is missing.
• I lack involvement with professional associations that helps in networking as well as professional development.
• I found it difficult to act on action plans as learning about action plans is easy but transforming them into actual actions is difficult.

Career planning

Strengthens:

• For becoming a successful nurse manager, it is important to know one’s role and plan career wisely. Currently, I am focusing on developing in me skills that my job requires.
• I have properly planned what I want to achieve and which skills I need to develop in me for reaching that set point.

Weakness:

• I am preparing me for present but not considering the future needs. Veritably, future needs would be changed.
• Little flexibility and capacity are needed for adapting the future scenarios that is missing in me currently.
• Choosing the right direction and the best career path is another difficulty that I face as I have multiple career directions.

Personal journey discipline

Strengths:

• In this area (personal journey discipline) council management is important and I am learning and using skills that would help me in managing the council.
• I use various techniques of action learning for solving a problem.
• I use action leaning techniques for giving my personal opinion on decisions being taken.
• I am efficiently learning skills that make an individual a leader.

Weakness:

• It would be time taking for me to reflect on things and show perfect leadership behavior.
• Basic skills are the same but learning how to use them as per the scenario, is still my weak area that I need to work on.

Reflective practice references behavior/tenets

Strengths:

• Holding and supporting truth in every situation is one the toughest thing but I have developed in me this skill of withstanding the truth no matter how hard it is.
• Despite the ambiguity of the environment, I have learned how to deal with it comfortably that is one of my achievements being a nurse manager.
• I appreciate diversity and welcome it wholeheartedly as for me appreciating diversity would help a nurse manager to learn how to treat everyone on equal grounds without considering which race, religion or gender one belongs to (Raines,et,al,2019).
• I always try to maintain a balance for keeping my spirit high for performing the best role in my field. Being committed to my profession is one of my strength that helps me in growing.
• I always found me excited for exploring the new dimensions of knowledge that helps me in learning new things related to my profession.
• Knowing potential in one’s self and others is a primary leadership skill that I have developed. I used this skill and motivate others for doing things that they thought they cannot.

Weakness:

• Before making a decision, I take in to account multiple perspectives that take long to finalize my judgment.
• Sometimes, it becomes difficult for me to maintain a distance in the intellectual and emotional decision.
• Learning how to express reflection in an appropriate way is a time taking process.

Current leadership skills for making changes at the workplace

Taking in consideration the environment of my workplace, I would first take a look at the weak areas and would try to utilize my leadership skills for making a required change that would improve the working environment of my workplace (LaCross,et,al,2019). I would use my skills of reflecting on the decision being made and would try to make reforms if a decision is not made wisely. I would keep myself and others motivated for incorporating positive changes at my workplace that would work best in favor of the nursing field.

My goal

For the sake of my leadership growth, I aim to continue my education as advancement in education helps in learning new techniques as per the time. It has been seen that with the advancement of time, needs in every field changes, so I aim to continue my education and achieve specialization degree in my field. I am planning to get myself involve with certain associations before taking admission. For achieving this set goal I would search the best institutions and get myself enrolled for having advanced education regarding my profession.
