You don't think a clinical manager should have solid experience? Interesting.

This is very concerning. We nurses NEED TO stick together. BSN, ADN, Diploma, LVN. Nurses are nurses period. And to the original post.....shame on you.

A clinical manager should definitely have some solid experience under their belt-regardless of education level I think education is always good, but at any level-except entry level-experience is needed with the education.

Sorry, but I don't think one year is enough experience to be a clinical manager, no matter what kind of degree(s) someone has. Personally, I would be alarmed to interview for a position where a unit was being managed by someone with only one year of experience...in fact, I wouldn't pursue the job.

Do I smell something? Oh, it must have been that first post! Stop this before it gets out of hand!

Oh, just when you think you've met all the small minded snobs another one comes along.

I would NEVER accept a unit manager job with only one year under MY belt. To each her own; I wish you well.

I also wish to caution the OP is LONG gone as this thread is nearly 2 years old, so there is no use in scolding him/her or getting all hot under the collar. Remember, some people enjoy what I like to call "drive-by" posting----leaving a zinger of a post, and then silently lurking to watch the fireworks that ensue.

I would suggest we not feed energy like that.

I'm not sure how my saying I wouldn't want to work for a unit manager who only has one year of experience makes me small minded.

i only read the first 2-3 replies, there is no point in arguing this with an obviuos nursing neophite who will face a LOT of growing pains. another thread that should be locked.
