Administrative nurses, also called nurse administrators, are registered nurses who specialize in supervision and management of other nurses and some ancillary staff. Nursing administration is a leadership role with a wide range of responsibilities that not only include overseeing nursing staff and handling personnel matters but also ensuring that patients’ medical needs are being properly met. Administrative nurses are a vital part of the executive team with the experience and skills to juggle administrative, business, and medical duties in their managerial role. 

Some healthcare employers may prefer administrative nurse job candidates with Basic Life Support (BLS), Certified Executive in Nursing Practice (CENP), Certified Nurse Manager and Leader (CNML), Nurse Executive Certification (NE-BC) or Nurse Executive or Advanced Certification (NEA-BC), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a Nurse Executive Certification (NE-BC) validates your knowledge and skills as a nursing administrator and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
