“The secret of Change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, But on building the new” – SOCRATES
“NOTHING ABOUT ME WITHOUT ME” is the key phrase for more empowerment of clinical nurses.
NURSES are leaders by virtue of their responsibilities for them; empowerment is not a privilege, but a professional necessity. “Empowerment supports shared team governance, open leadership communication and supportive and empathetic nursing team relationships. Creating an empowered team is a vital nurse leadership function that can significantly influence staff morale, productivity, staff retention and associated costs, patient care, quality and patient safety and employee satisfaction.
There are compelling reasons to empower nurses. Powerless nurses are ineffective nurses. Powerless nurses are less satisfied with their jobs and more susceptible to burn out.
