Celebrating Nurses: Leaders in Clinical Practice

This week we’re taking time to have a good time nurses and the worth they create to healthcare. The World Health Organization announced 2020 because the Year of the Nurse and Midwife; We didn’t understand how much of an impact it could have on us amid the Covid-19 pandemic. This 12 months has tested our strength, courage and resilience in ways we never thought possible, and yet we rose to the occasion and continued to take care of those in need.

State governments have temporarily lifted many collaboration, supervision and licensing restrictions in order that nurses can ensure patients have access to care in the course of the pandemic. Care was not provided in a silo; nurses have worked and proceed to work with other health care providers to supply high-quality, equitable care that addresses the social and behavioral health needs of our patients. We must not forget that health care is “person-centered” and it takes an interdisciplinary team working together to assist patients discover their optimal health potential. There is a spot for medicine and advanced nursing practice in health care.

Nursing is some of the dynamic professions in healthcare. We have the chance to practice as direct caregivers, leaders in health care organizations, faculty, researchers, and advanced practice nurses, to call just a couple of of our many roles. I actually have enjoyed working as a nurse for over 22 years and it gives me great joy to support nurses on their profession path to becoming nurses. While we may experience difficult battles defending our practice from those that don’t understand that collaboration is at the center of every thing we do, we cannot let it stop us. We must support one another and recognize the worth we bring as clinical practice leaders. Never forget that our patients recognize the difference we make of their lives on daily basis.
