Despite the emergence of new theories, our notions of organizational and political leadership are still culturally masculine. Therefore, women who lead (e.g., nurse executives and nurse managers) must deal with tensions between expectations about leaders and expectations about women. This situation suggests that nursing administration education programs can help nurses become effective leaders by including examination of what difference it makes--historically, politically, institutionally--that nursing is largely a female profession.
尽管新理论不断涌现，但我们对组织领导和政治领导的观念在文化上仍然带有男性特质。因此，担任领导职务的女性（如护士长和护理部主任）必须应对对领导者的期望与对女性的期望之间的紧张关系。这种情况表明，护理管理教育项目可以通过审视以下方面来帮助护士成为有效的领导者：从历史、政治和制度层面来看，护理工作在很大程度上是女性职业这一点会产生何种影响。
