Application of leadership knowledge and skills is a standard expectation for nurse managers and other leaders.

Application of leadership knowledge and skills is a standard expectation for nurse managers and other leaders. The American Organization of Nurse Executives has delineated competencies as a minimum standard of practice for nurse/managers. However, managers must be clear about business skills, and how the skills are used in ‘real world’ nurse management. Construct a written argument reporting “Business Skills” as an important competency for nurse managers within inpatient settings.
Describe an example of nurse manager application of business skills within an intensive care unit (ICU) or intermediate care (IMC).
