There were gained and analyzed 544 autoscreenings working day shots in total. There was found that department nurses in this hospital in average mostly perform managerial and personal activities. From the scope of structure of managerial activities the highest proportions have the organizational activities of department in the case of department nurses. On the other hand deparment nurses plan and perform personal activities with the smallest frequency. Head nurses perform qualified nursing activities in most cases, even though as managers on the middle level of management this should not be their main ac­ti­vi­ty. Both head nurses and department nurses deal with administrative issues in average more than 100 minutes per day.
