Abstract
The role of the charge nurse is critical to daily operations, patient flow, and appropriate staffing. Despite this, there is a paucity of evidence to support the process by which individuals are identified, selected, and promoted to the charge nurse role. In addition, tools for nurse managers to assess and evaluate staff for promotion to charge nurse roles are lacking. As a result, effective decision-making on the part of nurse leaders is challenging and often uninformed by objective measures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new tool designed to support nurse manager decision-making for charge nurse selection.
