This study explored the perceived leadership attributes of nurse managers who enable the creation of positive professional practice environments for registered nurses in acute care hospitals. A general qualitative approach was used to explore the perceptions of ten acute care registered nurses using a three-interview method of inquiry. Three major categories emerged from the data analysis: nurse manager attributes, positive professional practice environment characteristics, and nurse retention, recruitment and job satisfaction. Eight themes emerged in the nurse manager attributes category: expert, mentor, participant, communicator/listener, problem-solver/critical thinker, supporter, arbitrator, and advocate. Seven themes emerged in the characteristics of a positive professional practice environment: team approach, collaborative, learning environment, supportive, staff relationships, resource availability, and effective communication. The descriptions that emerged from this study provided a more in-depth understanding of the key leadership attributes of nurse managers needed to create professional practice environments that impact nurses’ job satisfaction and retention.
