Objective To establish the current management standards needed by nurse managers in Turkey and to share the process of establishing standards. Background Relevant and utilizable nursing management standards are needed for effective and efficient nursing administration to achieve better outcomes in health care. Methods A three‐round e‐Delphi method was used in this study. First, the experts were asked an open‐ended question. In the second and third rounds, data analysis measurements included item‐by‐item per cent agreement, standard deviation, average, median and interquartile range. Results At the end of the third round, 49 standards were obtained under five main standards for nurse managers: management and organisation; leadership; human resources management; quality management; and professionalism. Conclusion The results of this study, which represent a consensus on nursing management standards drawn from the views of experts across regions and institutions in Turkey, provide a baseline to design, manage and evaluate nursing services. Implications for Nursing Management Nursing management standards, which are fundamental for designing, leading and evaluating nursing services, give a framework for nurse managers to provide effective and efficient administrative practices.
