1) The Science: Managing the Business
The part of science in nurse management competencies include Financial Management, Human
Resource Management, Performance Improvement, Foundational Thinking Skills, Technology,
Strategic Management, and Clinical Practice Knowledge (Chase, 2010). After reviewing these
areas of nursing management, my area of strength involves performance improvement and
appropriate clinical practice knowledge. I am at the position of healthcare worker working with
other professionals, I aim to recognize key performance indicators and save the patient’s life by

give priority to patient’s choices and decisions. It also includes membership and involvement in
an appropriate professional association that facilitates networking and professional development
