How does this profile manager complement the researcher and the internship advanced nurse manager?
In the United States the Degree nurses work in the Clinical Units with the advanced internship nurses and the managers. In Spain they still do not work according to this model. These professional profiles do not exist, they are not established in the nursing profession. Until now, in our country, organizational tasks were generally carried out by the supervisor, a position that was assumed by a competent nurse with professional experience, but without training for this purpose. With our Master's Degree we give that training and prepare our students in the advanced internship and the management. This is the trend towards which Nursing is heading. There is an increasing demand for leading professionals capable of contributing to the improvement of nursing practice and discipline . For this reason, we felt it was essential to include this profile manager in our Master's Degree. In Spain this postgraduate program is the only one to combine advanced internship and management, two professional profiles that can and should work together in the clinical internship .
