"I am writing to share my thoughts about the nursing ambassadors. First, I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to participate in the nursing ambassadors program and committees. I have been a nurse for almost five years working in the ICU and I have been a Charge Nurse in the ICU for the past year. I love being a nurse and caring for my patients. I would do anything that I can to improve their quality of care and make my workplace better. I feel like this is the first time (since I have been a nurse) that nurses have been empowered to take the initiative to make positive changes in their workplace for the benefit of everyone; patients as well as staff members. I think that it is great when we can all come together and work towards common goals; from safety and communication to RN/MD collaboration, to efforts to achieve Magnet Recognition again." - Charge RN ICU Towers
I can't think of a more fitting way to end the week on a positive note! I have always been a big proponent of empowering our team members to play an active role in helping to lead our organization to reach our vision of achieving excellence and improving lives. I'd like to publicly thank this nurse for her participation, support, and her testimony to the progress we are making. In these tough economic times that we are all facing, it will be the strength of our leadership, culture, and team work that will propel us to reach our goals and overcome our obstacles. Together I believe there is no challenge that we can't overcome! To Cheryl and our entire nursing staff, I salute you for helping to demonstrate leadership and empowerment in action -Thank YOU!
