“…Specialist programs in nursing have an important role in raising the overall quality of medical care, because through nursing care and the educational and advi- sory role in certain branches of medicine in which they specialize, they can significantly and positively influence the results of health care (9). The above statements are in accordance with the results of the conducted research, considering that the largest number of participants perceive that the improvement of the quality of service and the reduction of the possibility of error are the most significant benefits that can be obtained by the implementation of specialist programs in nursing.…”

Introduction. For a considerable period, nursing was regarded as a female-dominated profession that operated under the supervision of physicians and lacked its own distinct domain of practice. Nursing is a profession that was for a long time seen as a female profession, under the direction of doctors and without its own field of activity. Today's complexity of treatment and health care requires specialized and experienced nurses to ensure quality outcomes for patients. Modern nursing faces many challenges, especially pandemics, inflexible working hours and lack of independence at work. The question is whether, by transforming the healthcare system, the role of nurses will also be reconsidered.Aim. To present the views of the nurses of the General Hospital of Šibenik-Knin County on the need for specialist training in nursing.Methods. The research was conducted in form of a survey questionnaire which was administered to a group of 146 nurses who were employed at the General Hospital of Šibenik-Knin County. It consisted of data on specialist education in nursing (the attitude of nurses on the need for specialization, their awareness of it). The analysis was performed in the statistical software SPSS 25.Results. Nurses with secondary vocational education predominate in the conducted research. They are mostly employed in the hospital department. They state a higher level of knowledge in a narrowly specialized field as the main motive for specialization.A statistically significantly higher number of participants expressed their intention to continuetheir education in the future and progress professionally.The limitation in this intention stems from the fact that the majority of participants are not familiar with the specialization program, even thoughtheir attitudes support specialization.Conclusion. On the basis of the conducted research,the results are reached which show that the nursesof the General Hospital of Šibenik-Knin County encouragespecialist education within the profession.The largest number of respondents believe that specializationin the nursing profession can lead to an increasein the quality of service, and the main reasonfor specialization is a higher level of knowledge ina narrowly specialized field of work. Also, the largestnumber of participants intend to continue theireducation, but most of them are not familiar with thepossibilities of specialization within the profession.Hypotheses that tested whether nurses' attitudestowards specialist education differ based on lengthof service, level of education and workplace were rejected.

“…Sustaining this confounding condition in nursing between professionalism and practice, nurse managers use leadership skill sets developed in industrial institutions that are grounded in hierarchy, vertically oriented relational models, functional work delineations, job categorization, and fixed financial and cost-based resource use and staffing schemes 28,29. Indeed, 100 years ago, American nursing was predominantly grounded in hospitals that used these military-style approaches of hierarchical delineation and discipline that built a culture sanctioning the very organizational inequity that nurses and nursing have yet to fully exit 30. Along with the cost-based ledger location of nursing in organizations, leadership and management frameworks remain inherently inequitable.…”

“…Social and political issues throughout history, such as technological advances, women's entry into the workforce and the historical subordination of nursing to medicine, have influenced NEs' positionality in healthcare (Egenes, 2017;May & Fleming, 1997). These social and political developments have varyingly shaped NEs' identity and influenced how others view and value them, such as healthcare executives and professionals, patients and the government.…”

This article presents a novel theoretical approach to explore nurse executives’ paradoxical identity and agency of executive and nurse in homecare organizations. This complex phenomenon has yet to be well theorized or analyzed. Through a synthesis of literature, we demonstrate that Critical Management Studies, as informed by Foucault, and the Sociology of Ignorance, can create a different understanding of the complex interplay between knowledge and nonknowledge (ignorance) that positions nurse executives in both influential and precarious ways in homecare organizations. This theoretical framework has the potential to allow for the explicit exploration of nurse executives’ strategic epistemic and discursive positioning and highlights hierarchal power structures within homecare organizations. We posit that this framework, that spans nursing, management and sociology disciplines, sets a different understanding of homecare organizations as epistemic landscapes, exposing institutional knowledge and ignorance dynamics that remain largely concealed and unchallenged, yet are integral to understanding nurse executives’ epistemic agency.
