Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The position description indicates that the nurse will be supervising charge nurses and nurse managers, and overseeing activities in designated client care areas. This suggests a middle-level management position, as opposed to a first-level manager (who would be supervising staff directly involved in providing care) or a top-level manager (who would be responsible for the overall strategic direction of nursing services). The description does not provide information to suggest a laissez-faire management style.
