The purpose of this study is to emphasise nurses' experiences of nurse leaders' changing roles over 25 years.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: A qualitative study was performed with individual interviews of eight nurse managers. From Norway and Finland, all nurse managers with more than 25 years of experience and working in specialist health care and primary health care were included in the study.
These nurse managers have a lot of knowledge and resolved conflicts using improved methods and have experienced continuous change. The role of nurse manager ranges from bedside to exclusive administrative work. The organisations have become more extensive, and the staff has grown. These changes have led to many challenges and more complex organisations.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Nurse managers who have worked for over a 25-year period had useful experience and could handle many new challenges. They can change themselves and their organisation tasks over time and follow the development of society.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Based on their experiences as novices at the beginning of their career, the informants demonstrate their development to the level of expert manager.
本研究旨在强调护士在 25 年中对护士长角色变化的体验。
设计/方法/方法：采用个体访谈的方法对 8 名护士长进行了定性研究。来自挪威和芬兰的所有护士长都有超过 25 年的经验，并且在专科保健和初级保健中工作，都包括在这项研究中。
这些护士长有很多知识，并且使用改进的方法解决冲突，他们经历了持续的变化。护士长的角色从床边护理到纯粹的行政管理工作。组织变得更加广泛，员工人数也有所增加。这些变化带来了许多挑战和更加复杂的组织。
研究局限性/影响：工作超过 25 年的护士长具有有用的经验，可以应对许多新的挑战。他们可以随着时间的推移改变自己和组织的任务，并跟上社会的发展。
原创性/价值：根据他们在职业生涯初期作为新手的经验，这些信息提供者展示了他们从新手到专家经理的发展。
