The role of the head nurse continues to expand within the contemporary health care system, and the impact of that role will seriously affect the financial viability of health care organizations. Therefore, it is apparent that these organizations must reevaluate this role in relationship to its goals and objectives. They must also adopt strategies to select the appropriate individual for the particular job and provide sufficient training for successful management behaviors. The organization that expects its novice managers to hit the ground running must prepare these managers to clear the high hurdles, endure the marathons, and sprint to the finish line.
在当代医疗保健系统中，护士长的角色持续扩展，且该角色的影响将严重影响医疗保健组织的财务可行性。因此，显而易见的是，这些组织必须根据其目标和宗旨重新评估这一角色。它们还必须采取策略，为特定工作挑选合适人选，并为成功的管理行为提供充分培训。期望其新手管理者立即投入工作的组织，必须让这些管理者做好准备，跨越重重高栏， endure the marathons，全力冲刺至终点。 （注：原文“endure the marathons”直接保留英文是因为从语境看，这里表述不完整准确，可能是作者想表达类似“经历漫长艰苦过程”等意思，但按照要求直接翻译保留英文）
