What do you think are the major challenges you will face in this job?

"I think the biggest challenge for me would be learning a different patient demographic. This clinic serves a very large Hispanic population due to the location, so learning their needs and trying to learn Spanish will be a challenge, but it's one I'm sure will reap great rewards."

One major challenge that I have experienced when starting a position as a new nurse manager is getting buy in from the unit staff. Staff are often skeptical of new managers making it difficult to implement changes on the unit. Once I break through those barriers, I am confident I can improve patient outcomes on the unit.
