This research aimed to explore the experiences of African American female nurse leaders on their journey to executive positions. Through the use of critical race theory and servant leadership, the study involved 8 participants from healthcare facilities in the southeast United States. The findings highlighted three main themes: the absence of a definitive path, the integral nature of leadership in their roles, and the individualized strategies for success. These findings are valuable for aspiring African American female nurse leaders in their pursuit of leadership goals.
This research examined how African American female nurse leaders describe their journey to their current positions as executive leaders. This study gave voice to 8 African American female nurse leaders in health care facilities in the southeast United States. The theoretical frameworks used were critical race theory and servant leadership. Three themes resulted from this phenomenological research, (a) there is no blueprint, (b) it comes with the job, and (c) the secret to my sauce. The findings of this study will inform aspiring African American female nurse leaders on how to achieve their leadership goals.
