Assignment task: Hillary Hockenberry has been a nurse for 4 years in a long-term care facility. Recently, the position of unit manager has become available and she is considering applying for it. Peers have encouraged her to consider doing so and have commented, "You are a born leader and manager and will do really well in the position." Hillary Hockenberry is now asking herself the following questions:
- Am I ready for a position like this?
- What management skills will I need to be a good unit manager?
- What are the rewards and challenges to a management position? She seeks input from both the former unit manager, who is now the assistant director of nursing (ADON), whom she views as a mentor, as well as the preceptor whom she originally worked with as a new graduate.
Based on one case study, please create two priority nursing diagnosis and provide an explanation why you have chosen these specific diagnosis.
