Happy New Year!

It's a new day...and year for nursing.  We are gearing up in California for the ACNL (Association of California Nurse Leaders) Annual Meeting in Sacramento next month.  I am registered and excited about the learning and networking opportunities.  The conference will open on Sunday with committee meetings, of which I am a member of the voice of nursing leaders, nursing leadership subcommittee.  It will be an exciting time to discuss the next steps for nursing leaders in California, and around the country as we partner, like never before with our MD colleagues, fellow administrators, and even politicians, to re-empower nursing.  This week the Congress will reconvene in Washington, DC and I'm hopeful that we will hear more soon about additional funding for nurse education programs.  Look forward to an update on my next blog.  Lots more to come...stay tuned. 

All the best,

Nurse Leader

Why should I choose nursing leadership?

Why Nursing Leadership? COVID has placed so much strain and stress on nursing leaders, so why should I choose to be a nursing leader? Well, the answer is multi-faceted, but it starts with your passion and purpose. Nursing leadership is NOT what you do, it's WHO YOU ARE!! I've always shared with my mentors that leadership is not about a title, it's the responsibility that you choose to take. We need more great leaders in nursing, and I hope we all commit to doing our part! Leaders create a healthy work environment, and establish a culture of honor and respect through cultivating openness of mind and role-modeling these types of behaviors. Self-awareness and engaging others in self-discovery help to cultivate and create a climate of trust and honor.  Jean Watson (2009) recommended that health care providers develop an awareness of self as an essential component of transpersonal caring-healing, and to reflect on emergency, consciousness, and caring as the basis of nursing pra...
