This study provides beginning information about the magnitude of the impact of organizational redesign on midlevel nurse managers. Midlevel managers in this study struggled to keep up with the demands of the change and their own recognition of the importance of remaining committed to the uncertain goals of the institution. They were frustrated by their perceived inability to fix the situation and to meet the multiple needs of the staff. Nonetheless, they supported senior executives and attempted reasonable solutions to the problem.
