The numbers of nurses holding formal leadership and management positions without baccalaureate preparation are disheartening. The 2008 National Sample Survey reported that approximately one-half of nurses in manager and above positions hold less than a bachelor's degree. The formal preparation of nurse leaders is critical for continued progress in advancing patient safety and quality as well as promoting innovative models of care delivery. Helping nurses in leadership positions, especially where the expectation does not already exist to have such educational preparation, is a challenge that the profession must address.
令人沮丧的是，没有学士学位准备的护士担任正式领导和管理职位的人数令人失望。2008 年全国抽样调查报告称，约有一半的经理及以上职位的护士拥有不到学士学位。护士领导者的正式培养对于在推进患者安全和质量以及促进创新的护理模式方面取得持续进展至关重要。帮助处于领导地位的护士，特别是在没有这种教育准备的期望的情况下，是该行业必须解决的挑战。
