There is a role for every nurse whether it be as a committee member or sharing ideas about nursing practice with members. The need to help identify issues and offer potential solutions and feedback is the responsibility of every nurse. The more nurses involved in the decision-making process, the more supported the decision will be. Empowered nurses make the commitment to being responsible, accountable and dedicated to our patients and practice. Nurses have to be partners in making decisions at the point of care that support both the goals of the organization and professional nursing practice.
Empowerment combines hope, excitement and energy to influence our professional practice.
It is a commitment to the highest quality of patient care.
