" I believe that the single most important factor in the outcomes of patients in acute care is the nurse. Patients and their loved ones trust nurses to share an intimate lived experience with them and rely on nurses to help them achieve the outcomes they desire. For the nurse, this experience with the patient and their loved ones is a privilege. To honor this privilege, nurses must be professional, competent, and caring. Ensuring that we provide the best care possible for our patients, we must perform nursing care that is based on evidence and partner with our patients, families, and colleagues to achieve the same desired outcomes."

"Many of our patient and family customers assume we have the most advanced knowledge and equipment available. What will make or break their experience is the way they were treated as a person - whether we make eye contact, communicate in a timely fashion, are honest and sincere, are “in the moment” with them. Amidst our ever increasing technology and automation, Nursing needs to be ever vigilant in advocating for the patient/family."
