This study explored the experience of being a Millennial Nurse Manager; seeking to understand how these young nurse managers make meaning of their lived experience. Background. Little research is found in the literature on the experience of a being Nurse Manager and the relationship of those experiences informed by generational specifics (Saber, 2013). The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) (2016) contends meeting the challenge to transform care will require the successful leadership development, preparation, and role support of the next generation of nurse leaders. Identifying the leadership role expectations of young nurses serves to address many pressing succession planning needs. Through an increased understanding of factors and influences regarding the leadership trajectory of Millennial nurses; this research will inform current nurse leaders relative to strategies and evidenced based practice that could be aimed at developing the next generation of nurse leaders. Method. This was a qualitative interpretative phenomenological research study. A purposeful targeted national sample of 25 Millennial Nurse Managers, with a minimum of 1 year of nurse manager experience in the role, participated in audio-recorded telephone interviews. Results. Seven themes emerged from this study: Coming into the Role, Learning as I Go, Having the Support of My Director, Making an Impact, Helping Staff Succeed, & Managing Change. Conclusion. There are many opportunities to modify the role and to standardize the onboarding and development of these young leaders. Grants. No grant funding was obtained.

Grow - Service Learning and the BSN Nursing Student Nicole Laing-Joseph, DNP, Associate Professor, College of Nursing, Nova Southeastern University Service-learning for the Undergraduate Nursing student, provides the opportunity to gain practical skills, help communities, and allow the student the opportunity for self-reflection (Jarrell, Ozymy, Gallagher, Hagler, Corral, & Hagler, 2014). Service Learning for students at this level of their education encourages the opportunity for professional growth and insight into their cultural competence. Students rarely have the opportunity to leave their home country, to venture into other communities abroad, and completely immerse themselves in a culture while providing care to the population. Since the year 2000, the College of Medicine at Nova Southeastern University has conducted bi-annual mission trips to the island of Jamaica in June and December. Over the years this mission has grown to include the Colleges of Dentistry, Optometry, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Pharmacy. More recently in keeping with our mission of becoming “nationally and internationally recognized for preparing transformational leaders in health care who are valued for excellence in nursing practice, education, and research,” the College of Nursing has joined the mission to share in this opportunity to offer the Undergraduate student clinical experience in Caribbean populations. In the Summer of 2017, a team of 3 nursing faculty members along with nine nursing students took flight to Kingston, Jamaica to work shoulder to shoulder with their health professional counterparts in the primary role of health promotion and health education. This immersion in International services highlights the importance of service learning opportunities in improving cultural competency in the BSN nursing student.
