Nurses manage in various ways regardless of their official role. Some of these ways include deciding on priorities, being a liaison between clients and healthcare providers, coordinating client care, and delegating responsibilities to other healthcare team members. Developing the unit budget is typically a responsibility of nurse managers, not front-line nurses.
