common goal. A primary nurse working with several clients must prioritize care, with
the goal of assisting them to improved health, healing, or sometimes, a peaceful death.
Nursing administration
Nursing administration refers to the management and direction of nurses or a
nursing department. The supervisor in charge of these duties is a type of registered
nurse (RN) called a nursing administrator. In some instances, alternate terms such as
head nurse, nursing manager and health services manager are used. (Chiedozie, A.,
2011)
According to Dr. Mary Ferguson-Pare, nurse administrators must have corporate
savvy and excellent communication and organizational skills. They must understand
and inhabit organizational structures, roles and cultures with ease. Their effectiveness
depends on their comfort with power, paradox and organizational politics. Nurse
administrators require strong management skills: major foci of nursing administration
include thorough assessments and analyses of context and systems issues, as well as
the development of strategies, goals, objectives and plans, including budgets, human
resource plans and interventions for the management of change. Leaders in nursing
administration are also experts in leading the practice of nursing within the workenvironment.
Management levels of nursing
There are three management levels of nursing. These are:
First level management
Also known as a first-line manager. In the hospital setting, the first-level
manager is usually the head nurse, nurse manager, or an assistant. In other settings,
such as an ambulatory care clinic or a home health care agency, a first level manager

a specific work unit or units.
responsible for clinical nursing practice, patient care delivery, use of human,
fiscal, and other resources, personnel development; compliance with regulatory
and professional standards; fostering interdisciplinary, collaborative relationships,
and strategic planning (AONE, 1992).
motivating the staff to achieve the organization's goals
Nurse managers have 24-hour accountability for the management of a unit's or
area's within a health care organization.
Middle level management
Middle level managers are those who act as liaison between upper management
and first level managers. Middle managers are also called as a supervisor, director, or
assistant or associate director of nursing. A graduate education is often required for thisposition.
Middle managers functions include:
Supervising a number of first-level managers usually within related specialties or
in a given geographic area;
Act as liaison between upper management and first level managers
Monitor and become responsible for the people and activities within departments
they supervise; and
24-hour responsibility for their defined area.
