Abstract
Frontline Leaders (FLs) or charge nurses (CNs) are pivotal in managing patient throughput, staffing ratios, responding to patient and family concerns, collaborating with staff or interdepartmental colleagues, and coaching staff performance (Patrician, Oliver, Miltner, Dawson, & Ladner, 2012). FLs receive inadequate leadership training in their role (Patrician et al., 2012; Terran & Webb, 2016). The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2010) endorses nurses at all levels receive training for their role. Education budgets continue to be scrutinized and therefore educational strategies must be improved to be more efficient and effective. Frontline Leader Certificate Program should be adopted into orientation curriculum and/or continuing education plans. Online learning may be a more feasible and sustainable education option for this type of programming and population. Identifying FLs as a population, proved to be difficult and may be a barrier in further research.
