“…This results, in part, from significant differences between individual health care systems (Carroll & Adams 1994). In addition, the scope of the nurse managers' role is largely shaped by the individual organizational structures in which they work, making comparisons between first‐line nurse managers overall even more unreliable (Jaco et al . 1994; Oroviogoicoechea 1996; Willmot 1998).…”

“…By far the most serious issue with global comparison of the roles of first‐line nurse managers lies in the fact that (with the exception of a few published studies in North America, the UK and Australasia) little empirical research has been done to establish exactly what the role of the first‐line nurse manager is. What has been written is anecdotal (Everson‐Bates 1992; Jaco et al . 1994) and based on small, limited scale studies.…”

Organizational restructuring is impacting heavily on the first-line nurse managers' role. Given their critical role, it is important that the best and most talented are attracted to and prepared to be first-line managers. The authors provide an overview of the role of first-line nurse managers in Australia, proposing that nurse administrators take a more active role than has traditionally been the case in ensuring staff are appropriately educated and selected for management positions.

“…Players must be able to identify with a particular practice or the organizations that set such standards. Although the literature and experience indicated that VA did lag behind the private sector in how they used their nurse leaders, established relationships and local practices continued to prevail over recommendations (Jaco, Price, & Davidson, 1994).…”

This case study retrospectively analyzes the process of changing the role of Veterans Administration nurse leaders in Veterans Health Administration Medical Centers across the United States. Much has been written on the challenges and processes involved, particularly for women, in actualizing the metaphor “getting to the table” in health care arenas but few examples in actually how to get there. Nurses have a great deal to lend to discussions and evaluations of quality care, sensitivity to patient and family needs, and cost-effectiveness. It is essential to give voice to this increasingly vocal and sophisticated group of health professionals. Important policy making and political lessons learned in the course of upgrading the Chief Nurse position are discussed. Each nurse must begin a conversation within his or her own institution about politics, policy and nursing practice. This conversation, initially, may be perceived as only a ripple, but, in time, it can lead to a wave of changes that open doors previously closed.

This study assesses the impact on decision-making when introducing the nurse executive into the top management team (TMT) in Veterans Affairs Medical Centers. Results indicate that nurse executives formally elevated to the TMT were no more likely to perceive greater involvement in decision-making than non-TMT nurse executives or nurses informally appointed to the TMT. However, nurse executives in all categories perceived themselves as more involved in strategic decisions than other TMT members.
