NSG 4068 Week 5 Project – The Nurse as Advocate Conclusion

The healthcare setting has continued to demand more advanced practice nurses, and this has been informed by the collaborative and integrative initiatives being championed aimed at offering quality and effective care to patients. All over the world, nurses have gained more autonomy over the period, and the roles they practice have gradually branched out to various types of specialties. Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) are one of the specialized roles that deal with family health. As a FNP, having effective leadership skills is very important as I engage with my patients. One style that plays out well in my role as an FNP is the transformational leadership style, as it will give me an opportunity to motivate my colleagues and find the most effective ways of achieving the set goals and objectives. This style is excellent in conflict resolution mechanisms, and therefore, I will be able to solve work-related conflicts and be unable to find a lasting solution without necessarily creating divisions among the employees.
