The authors have found in their research that too often our current nurse leaders have "fallen into" their positions, rather than choosing nursing leadership as a career path. With the impending retirements of so many nurse leaders, there is a need for a more proactive approach to ensure the next generation of nurse leaders is ready to assume the leadership of our profession. Guiding the development of a leadership mindset and promoting nursing leadership as a career choice are two important strategies. Nurse educators are in a key position to influence students and start grooming our future nurse leaders. There is no time to waste.
作者在其研究中发现，我们当前的护士领导者常常是“偶然担任”其职位，而非将护理领导作为职业道路来选择。鉴于众多护士领导者即将退休，需要采取更积极主动的方法，以确保下一代护士领导者做好准备，承担起我们这个行业的领导职责。引导培养领导思维模式以及将护理领导作为一种职业选择加以推广，是两项重要策略。护士教育工作者处于影响学生并开始培养我们未来护士领导者的关键位置。刻不容缓。
