| Popis: | An advanced clinical degree is imperative for administrators, specifically nursing, in today’s health care environment. An advanced business degree without such clinical background can create a hospital environment that is stagnant and fiscally challenged. The primary objective of this study was to determine the benefit to hospitals of an advanced clinical degree in the role of hospital administrators. The study was conducted using a quantitative survey designed to evaluate the gaps in the role of the advanced degree and the nursing executive and their practice in the hospital environment. Current literature supports the promotion of nurses to the administration level focusing on areas that have shown positive outcomes such as quality patient care and staff satisfaction. The purpose of this research was to investigate the perceptions of current nurse leaders in the hospital setting and their application of an advanced degree in administrative roles. Utilizing an online survey, specific perceptions that were investigated included recommendations for preparation of candidates for advanced nursing positions, methods utilized to assist nurses to advance and the requirement of an advanced clinical degree for such positions. |
