These are highly specialized areas of nursing that need a high level of knowledge and expertise. Nursing leadership and nurse management are quite different positions despite these and other similarities. A nurse manager and a nursing leader’s responsibilities, credentials, and tasks differ. Nursing leadership is the art and science of improving nursing outcomes. Nurse leaders must inspire and motivate their staff to develop high-quality procedures and patient care practices. Nurse management teaches teams and nursing divisions to follow set standards and procedures while caring for patients. Nurse managers supervise and train nursing personnel to ensure the efficacy of patient medical care programs.
