A recently issued report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in the United States on the Future of Nursing included a\nrecommendation that nurses should receive leadership development at every level in order to transform the healthcare system.\nCharge nurses, at the frontline of patient care in acute care settings, are in key positions to lead this change. This paper presents\nfindings from research conducted with nurses in the Tenet Health System. Charge nurses from ten facilities who attended a oneday\nwork shop were surveyed to gain insight into the experience of being a frontline leader in today�s acute care environment.\nThe relationship of these findings to the IOM report and the implications for both the Tenet Health System and other healthcare\norganizations that are working to support nurses who assume these challenging roles are discussed.
