Built to Last: A Culture of Courage, Excellence, and Resilience

As nurse leaders, we lead with values that emerge from our clinical foundations, patient advocacy, ethics, sense of justice and moral centeredness. Creating environments that enable these to flourish within a context of business, finances, strategies, and standardization is the challenge for nurse and healthcare leaders of today. The pressures on the modern-day nursing system, profession, and organization have never been greater nor the need to keep humanity at the center of all we do. We are sharing our work to create an environment that focuses on excellence, through individual courage and professional bravery, with the goal of increasing understanding, informing opinions, and helping other organizations.
