Abstract
A nurse manager’s span of control is a key component in defining workload. More specifically, the span of control in an acute care setting is a leading factor indicating a nurse manager’s success. This year, the American Organization for Nursing Leadership has partnered with others to produce several resources describing this span of control and insights about best practices. This article describes some of these findings and is a call to action to implement recommendations to effect change in the front-line nurse manager’s span of control, helping individuals in these key roles thrive.
