Abstract:
The global COVID-19 health crisis has significantly altered the structures and processes of healthcare in innumerable unanticipated ways.

The impact of this trend is outlined in this article. The authors suggest to nurse leaders that nursing professional governance can be an invaluable mechanism for nursing engagement in the midst of managing a crisis.
