“…It is also recognized that nursing has strong competition as a career path in working life. Especially, young nurses have a lot of career options which offer significantly higher salaries and better working conditions . Given that there is recognized international nursing shortage, this is an important issue to take into consideration .…”

Background First‐line managers are links between an organizations’ administration and the workforce. They transmit information from higher managers to workers and vice versa. Their management skills and especially their interaction with staff are a key point in successful management. Aim To describe how first‐line managers realized appreciative management in their everyday management practice in health and social care. Method A quantitative descriptive study was conducted by means of an electronic survey among social and healthcare managers in Finland. Results Based on the self‐evaluations of the managers, appreciative management is well realized. The most recognition was given to equality and the least to appreciative know‐how. Connections were seen between appreciative management and gender, education, education level and managers with higher education, and those with fewer work units below them tended to have a better realization of appreciative management. Conclusion The education level of first‐line nurse managers is meaningful when realizing appreciative management in social and healthcare settings. Implications for nursing management More advanced education levels of first‐line managers help to promote appreciative management in social and health care, together with the amount of work units (meaning outpatient and inpatient wards). A first‐line manager is responsible for the needs of their workforce and needs to be critically assessed so that they might have more time for managing in an appreciative way. Appreciative management should be given increased focus when educating nurse managers.

“…Qualitative work exploring currently practising nurses' perceptions of why nurses may leave the profession found workload, shift work, violence, remuneration, lack of support and undervaluing of the nurses role were all contributing factors to intention to leave (Bogossian et al. ). NZ nurse leaders anecdotally report family considerations, overseas travel, further study and dissatisfaction with the career may contribute to nurses leaving nursing (O'Connor ).…”

Early nurse attrition in New Zealand and associated policy implications

If the nursing workforce is to be able to meet projected need, education, recruitment and retention policies must urgently address issues leading to early attrition. In particular, policies improving the wider environmental context of nursing practice and ensuring that working environments are safe and nurses are well supported must be developed and implemented. Equally, national nursing workforce planning must take into account that nursing is no longer viewed as a career for life.

“…Because of this, current care models that specify the organization of nursing knowledge and practice cannot and do not incorporate or allow for essential elements of nursing practice to be expressed, which research suggests contributes to nursing burnout and attrition, and may also influence patient outcomes. [75][76][77] This is especially true in an EBP health care era. An explicit empirical account of esthetic knowing will have significant professional implications in terms of how nurses are perceived, organized, respected, and understood to influence health care delivery and patient health outcomes.…”

Reorienting Esthetic Knowing as an Appropriate “Object” of Scientific Inquiry to Advance Understanding of a Critical Pattern of Nursing Knowledge in Practice

The esthetic pattern of knowing is critical for nursing practice, yet remains weakly defined and understood. This gap has arguably relegated esthetic knowing to an “ineffable” creativity that resists transparency and understanding, which is a barrier to articulating its value for nursing and its importance in producing beneficial health outcomes. Current philosophy of science developments are synthesized to argue that esthetic knowing is an appropriate “object” of scientific inquiry. Examples of empirical scholarship that can be conceived as scientific inquiry into manifestations of esthetic knowing are highlighted. A program of research is outlined to advance a science of esthetic knowing.
