The desire to take charge in a challenging situation is often a part of a nurse’s nature. Leadership skills come naturally for many, but not all nurses. A good way to build leadership skills is to become a better communicator. Communication is the key to keeping coworkers and patients in the loop at any medical facility.
Be sure that you’re communicating clearly and asking questions, and also taking the time to answer questions to the best of your ability. Joining community organizations is another great way to gain experience in a leadership role. With improved leadership skills, you could be well on your way to a position as an RN nurse manager.
