In medical organizations, nurses play multiple roles and take on significant Responsibilities in the coordination of integrated patient care. In a nursing management position, such as charge nurse, nurse supervisor, assistant director, or director of nursing, the individual must not only be knowledgeable and capable of practicing a nursing profession, but also be able to be fully accountable in business administration, such as customer services, human resources, quality control, medical equipment and supplies, hospital capital expenses, and medical information system. Throughout various departments of a hospital, experienced nurse leaders play multifaceted roles.
