Those in the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) position are responsible for conduct, patient care, and overall role capabilities. As one may transition into the newly promoted position, one must understand that obtaining and maintaining leadership qualities is essential to collaboration and patient care. Although some may not believe it is critical, one must know that those on the unit constantly look to the provider for answers. One of the most valuable attributes of an APRN utilizes all aspects of critical thinking, persuasiveness, and composure. It can control a room when they enter, strictly through their ability to collaborate, communicate, and conduct themselves appropriately. As an emergency department nurse, I occasionally have the opportunity to fill in the role of charge nurse on the unit. Over the years, I have learned what is effective as a leader and what is not. I understand that the attributes of composure, a calm spirit, and the ability to lead others is one that is not innate but rather one that must be nurtured daily. It is a leader who knows when to intervene and when to allow others to grow. As an APRN, I desire to empower, persuade, and lead my team and patients to the set goal for community health. Thanks for the post!
