This exploratory study has examined the effect of selected characteristics on the career advancement patterns of nurse executives in service and educational settings. The findings are not consistently in agreement with those of other researchers. For example, Hall et al. found that nearly two-thirds of nursing deans had planned their careers to attain that position. In this study, however, eighty-three percent of the respondents indicated that they had not planned their career advancement, but had simply taken opportunities that had come their way. The influence of others was important in the career advancement of these administrators. Many individuals, including faculty and nursing service colleagues, nursing directors, deans, and non-nursing administrators supported the respondents' personal and professional development through role modeling, teaching skills, and encouragement. Deliberate career planning and education in administration were, for the most part, lacking. Although the sample is too small to generate general conclusions about the universe of nurse executives, this does suggest that it is not uncommon for deans and service administrators to learn necessary skills on the job.
这项探索性研究考察了特定特征对服务机构和教育机构中护理管理人员职业晋升模式的影响。研究结果与其他研究者的结果并不完全一致。例如，霍尔等人发现，近三分之二的护理学院院长曾规划过自己的职业生涯以获得该职位。然而，在本研究中，83%的受访者表示他们没有规划过职业晋升，只是抓住了出现的机会。他人的影响在这些管理人员的职业晋升中很重要。许多人，包括教职员工、护理服务同事、护理主任、院长和非护理管理人员，通过树立榜样、传授技能和给予鼓励来支持受访者的个人和职业发展。在很大程度上，缺乏精心的职业规划和行政管理方面的教育。尽管样本太小，无法就全体护理管理人员得出一般性结论，但这确实表明，院长和服务管理人员在工作中学习必要技能的情况并不少见。
