Interview of a nurse leader

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm currently a student in an accelerated second degree program for nursing. I have an assignment in my managment class to interview a nurse leader. If anyone could help and answer these questions, that would be great! Thank you!

1. How did you prepare to be a successful leader?

2. Was there anything in your experience or education that you believe was especially useful in preparing you?

3. Lessons learned that have helped you grow as a leader.

4. Describe the people in your life who have motivated you.

5. If I were to make a deliberate effort to become an influential nurse leader, what specific steps would you recommend I take during the next 5 yrs?

6. What is your communication strategy as a leader?

7. How do you motivate others?

8. What is the biggest challenge you face as a leader?

9. What is the most gratifying aspect of being a leader?

10. How does the diversity of fellow nurses and patients affect how you lead and work?

I know this is a lot and most people don't have much time on their hands, but if you do and would like to help, I will be truly grateful.
