You can see this philosophy in action every day as I work with small groups across the institution implementing new initiatives."

" 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."
