Being a nurse, is a call to leadership that moves everyone to a higher level of responsibility and accountability, with or without a management title (Williamson, 2017). Every nurse is a leader not matter what your job title is, every nurse has a voice and an impact from staff nurse to Chief nursing officer (CNO). This is even more important with the way that healthcare is moving and changing. The nursing profession must strive to develop and replicate healthy management and leadership skills to push forward as a profession and maintain our professional growth and development (Williamson, 2017). This will entail nurses to stay informed on healthcare legislation, explore nursing professional journals and join nursing organizations to continue to advance our education and leadership (Williamson, 2017). It is not in question that nurses are visionaries, critical thinkers, skilled communicators and teachers- but now more than ever, leaders should be added to the list of attribute if it wasn’t on your list before. A nurse is a leader in any capacity that they work, from a formal leadership role, manager to bedside nurse- all nurse have the power to influence, serve and inspire those they work with. Great leaders make nursing one of the most trusted professions, and the most desired professions to be a part of- that’s why it’s great to be a nurse!
