Abstract

Part 1 in this two-part series focused on the meaning of significant incidents in nurse managers' practice related to role implementation. Explanation of the authors' application of the Manager as Developer Model(MADM) as a useful model for organizing and understanding some of the data was also discussed. Part 2 describes significant incidents in nurse managers' practice related to their ongoing learning needs. The authors address issues of performance counseling and intervention versus coaching and make recommendations for management development programs.
