Research Focus:

My research focus is Nurse Manager Competencies. Several studies have profiled the first-line nurse manager, but have mainly focused on the characteristics and responsibilities of these individuals. There is a need to further delineate and identify specific behavioral competencies that are considered important and increase effectiveness in the nurse manager role employed in hospitals. Nurse Managers are the vital link between hospital administration and the staff that delivers care to the client. My research trajectory is aimed at determining what individual or organizational characteristics and behaviors impact the Nurse Manager’s ability to manage and deliver care that is therapeutically effective and safe as well as cost-effective.
