Leadership
Talking Points:
Think
about all of the ways the health care system has challenged you
to be a leader,
and share your strategies with another nurse:
- Learn to work together-there's
strength in numbers
- Encourage and motivate others;
offer deserved praise
- Support and guide change
- Advocate for patients
- Take pride in your profession
- Speak up-describe the value of
a Registered Nurse
- Challenge the status quo-ask
questions and go looking for answers
- Use critical thinking when solving
problems
- Resolve conflict by finding ways
that both sides can win
- Practice your listening skills
- Realize common goals and mutual
gain
- Support and guide change
- Find at least one way to be involved
in your community
- Volunteer
- Take another nurse to a meeting
- Pick an issue you care about
and write or e-mail your legislator
- Find a mentor-and be a mentor!
