NJHS’s main goal is to make our community a better place to live and grow.To do this you they need leaders to take forth and take the first step. For example, if the NJHS is doing a Food Drive you need leaders on the team to put the plan into action, because true leaders don’t wait for orders, but instead true leaders try to influence people to take part, coordinate the team and strategize

    Effective leadership has a great impact in what direction the team takes. They have great communication skills and are very easy to talk to and approach. Employees look up to the nurse leader for reassurance and comfort when things are not so bright. Leaders are very compassionate and caring individuals.

From a leader standpoint, providing quality care to every patient is a priority. Leaders are usually on the floor with the nurses and are very aware of the work load. Leaders can better understand the nurse’s frustration about the staffing ratio. Sometimes having four patients feels like six because of the acuity level. When faced with a situation like not having enough staff to work a shift, leaders are quick to call in an extra nurse to come and work. Reducing the work load and proving effective quality care to the patients is what a leader usually has in mind. Leaders are not thinking about the hospital budget and deficits.
