    N479 Leadership Management Shadowing Activity Form

    Your Name: Bryanna Barcelo Date of Activity: September 16, 2015 Faculty name: Professor
    Moutafis
    Who did you shadow (add their credentials too)
    I shadowed charge nurse Sarah Knapp, BSN RN.
    Role of this leader and where do they practice? (Be specific)
    Sarah works on the abdominal surgical oncology transplant unit at BUMC. She has the role of
    charge nurse, which consists of taking care of assigned patients in addition to some management
    responsibilities. Sarahs responsibilities include appointing nursing assignments, making staffing
    schedules, overseeing the unit, and overseeing admissions and discharges. Her role also consists
    of making sure the unit is supplied with the proper equipment such as a working code cart and
    necessary medications. Sarahs role also consists of counting the narcotic medications at the start
    and end of the shift and attending a hospital bed meeting. Additionally, the day that I worked
    with Sarah on top of being charge nurse she also had a patient load. During our shift Sarah
    additionally provided other nurses with guidance and counsel when needed. Throughout the shift
    Sarah would round on other nurses to make sure they were doing okay. Sarah would also jump in
    and answer other nurses call lights and take phone calls. Overall, Sarah made sure that the unit
    was running smoothly while making her patients a priority.
    Discuss the benefit and value of this experience to you (Be specific).
    This experience was of value to me because I know that I want to be charge nurse eventually in
    my career. This shadowing opportunity not only showed me the role of the nurse but it also

    exposed me to the skills needed to succeed as a charge nurse. Some of the skills I learned are
    necessary include strong leadership skills, good communication, and flexibility. Charge nurses
    should also have enough experience to be able to answer or direct nurses or patients questions.
    Finally, charge nurses must be able to have good organization skills since their role consists of
    many different tasks.
    Would you recommend this specific shadowing experience in the future; why or why not?
    (Describe why or why not)
    I would recommend this experience in the future because being able to follow charge nurse is an
    opportunity that does not come up at any other point in our education. I believe it is important to
    understand what the charge nurse role consists of since we work with them so closely. In
    addition, most nurses will eventually become charge nurse; therefore it is beneficial to shadow
    the charge nurse in order to better understand the role. After this experience the role of the charge
    nurse finally makes sense to me, for this reason I would recommend it in the future.
