Synopsis

Inspires nurses to envision themselves as leaders, innovators, and agents of change

Firmly grounded in the digital age, this unique and innovative book focuses on the challenges and opportunities for nurses in the 21st century.

It features step-by-step processes for empowering and mobilizing nurses as change agents at a systemic level, demonstrates how nurses can alter cultural norms and perceptions of their profession, and illustrates how nurses can maximize their influence and impact on institutional and government policy. Woven throughout is the author's extraordinary personal story of rising from a Certified Nursing Assistant to CEO of the largest nurse-run online community.
