2012 "A New Year for Nurse Leaders"

We have entered into 2012 excited and passionate about new beginnings and opportunities as we sort through the IOM FON report.  The challenges are many, but our power as nurse leaders is great.  The California nurse leaders met in Palm Springs 2 weeks ago to talk through the Journey to advancing our great profession as nurse leaders. 

I'm sure the AONE  and ACHE conferences next month will continue the conversations, and I look forward to being at the table for ACHE to network and take part in the rhetoric.  Let's commit to tackling the challenges and considering them as new opportunities to forge our way through healthcare reform and teaching our future nurses about the importance of evidence-based practice.  As researchers and nurse leaders, let's do the necessary work to expand and refine new knowledge that will change health care and improve patient outcomes and the quality of nursing care.
