Abstract:
Values are at the heart of nursing leadership. They are what drive us to address the challenges in the healthcare systems of the 10 Canadian provinces and three territories, including equitable access to quality healthcare for all. As nurses, we know that the people in this country depend on us to be there for them and their families when they need our care, often at some of the most difficult and frightening times in their lives. To ensure that we can continue to fulfill this commitment, nursing leadership must remain vigilant in steering a path forward that enables bold new ideas that breathe life and vision into our changing workplaces in an increasingly complex world.
