What is the level of professionalism of nurse managers? These leaders of nurses are expected to establish a climate in which professional practice can flourish. In this study, the authors used the Professionalism Inventory to determine professional behaviors of 144 nurse executives and 135 middle managers. Nurse executives performed at consistently higher levels except for the categories concerning autonomy and knowledge of the Code for Nurses.
