| Summary: | In a continuously changing industry, nurse leaders are identified as vital in managing the costs and quality of healthcare delivery. The nurse leader pipeline is set to undergo changes in availability resulting from impending retirement of the Baby Boomer generation, nurse burnout and nurse decisions to leave nursing for other occupations. The time to identify and develop nurses who succeed these exiting nurse leaders has proven to be challenging. In response to this problem of practice, the central purpose of this research was to look at how healthcare organizations address the nursing shortage to build the nurse leadership (NL) pipeline for the future sustainability of the NL practice. Specifically, this research examined: How do experienced nurse leaders describe their sensemaking of the nursing pipeline crisis as they seek innovative strategies to develop current and inexperienced nurses into future leaders? |
