“Nursing practice is informed by the shared experience of patient-side practice all the way to senior nursing leadership practices. Together, nursing can chart the course of nursing practices that enhance the patients’ experience, safety and quality all while improving the experience of the clinicians providing or supporting the care. We all became nurses to impact the lives of our patients and community. We can be the nurses we want, together.”
— Deena Hannen, CNE, Ambulatory and Case Management
