Creating a Bright Future: Identifying Supports for Millennial Nurse Leaders

February 10, 2020 by NWRNA

Millennial Nurse Leaders Blog Post

In her article, Creating a Bright Future: Identifying Supports for Millennial Nurse Leaders, appearing in the January 2020 issue of Voice of Nursing Leadership, Lauren Kalember, MSN, RN-BC, CCRN-K, examines the characteristics of millennials in nursing and suggests strategies to support their transition into leadership roles.

She outlines the five leadership characteristics of millennials:

  • Relational,
  • Innovative,
  • High expectations,
  • Motivated, and
  • Life-long learners.

She also explores mentorship models and suggests specific strategies to support millennial nurse leaders, including:

  • Give specific praise: What they did, what strength they demonstrated and why it matters. More than just a “good job.”
  • Embrace continuous improvement and failing: allow them to try projects without having all of the answers.
  • Support the desire for learning: Offer educational group workshops, webinars, and tuition reimbursement:
  • Assess/explore top values and expectations: Determine what leader activities will help achieve their values. Say “yes, let’s try it” more often.
