5 Ways to Become the Head Nurse
Steve Berman | NursingLink

3. Shadow the Head Nurse
During your free time (if you can find any), ask the current head nurse if you can shadow her to learn what she does. You’ll need to learn how to manage people, create schedules, put out fires, work closely with physicians, maintain patients’ records, and monitor training, equipment, and supplies. A head nurse wears many hats – shadowing a head nurse will mentally prepare you for all the work you would be facing.

Everyone starts a career dreaming of making it big one day and nurses are no different. While many of them prefer to start as staff nurses to learn the nitty gritty of bedside patient care, a lot of them would ultimately want to move to more senior roles.
One of the surest ways of advancing in your nursing career is going to graduate school. For RNs keen on taking leadership roles, Master's of Nursing Administration ( http://www.stevenshenager.edu/healthcare/masters/nursing-administration ) is a degree worth considering, whereas those who want to become advance practice nurses (APNs) should probably enroll for an MSN degree. What this means is that it’s important to choose a graduate nursing degree depending on your goal.

As in many jobs, head nurses work up through the ranks--and excel each step of the way. They get a degree, work as a registered nurse, apply for an intermediate position such as charge nurse and then go for the head job. Experience, skill and networking can help you land a head nurse job, and additional education in health care administration also boosts your chances.

Having an advanced degree can surely help you get the position you want. One of my friends is now a head nurse after enduring many problems in her life. She even went to an alcohol rehabilitation program in the past, but after that, she changed her life to 180 degrees. If there were more people like her who are so determined to change for the better.

I'm in nursing school now and plan to graduate in December of this year. My med-surg instructor always tells us to have a plan set and keep working hard. To get to the "higher" position, you need to start early because when you're older and try to start working up, it may be harder to execute.
