Priority Areas

Researchers conducted a 3-phase Delphi study with national experts, ALSN members, and AONL members. Six priority areas for nursing administration and leadership science were identified:

1. nurses’ health, well-being, resiliency, and safety in the workplace;
2. developing and managing a nursing workforce to meet current and future healthcare needs;
3. healthy work and practice environments for direct care nurses;
4. healthy work and practice environments for nurse leaders;
5. quantification of nursing’s value across the health care delivery system; and
6. nurse leaders’ development and essential competencies
