Rebuilding Trust in Nursing Leadership
For the past 3 years, health care environments have been in turmoil. The aftershocks of the COVID experience are likely to be felt for years. Most health systems have experienced high turnover and cultural drift. With a growing shortage of health care staff and financial challenges, leaders now struggle to strategically plan for a less certain future. One notable loss during COVID has been a loss of trust in organizations and leaders. Recent Harvard Business Review evidence shows that the public trust in the US health care delivery system has eroded. (Source: Nurse Leader)

The Link Between Safety, Quality, and Professional Identity
The formation of nurses ’ professional identity (PIN) has not been deliberately executed within the profession. However, evidence shows that a well-formed PIN supports growth in the individual and can improve the work environment resulting in safer, quality patient care, as well as increased job satisfaction and retentio n.

Study results from over 700 practicing nurses link the effect of PIN on patient and nurse wellbeing. (Source: Nurse Leader)

From Direct Care to Leader
In this study, we explored nurse leaders ’ experiences regarding how their sense of professional identity changed—and how it stayed the same—when moving from the direct care role to leading others. Four themes emerged: (1) One’s Sense of Professional Identity Is Foundational; (2) Professional Identity and Functional Role Work in Ta ndem; (3) Leading Expands One’s View; (4) We Must Build Bridges. Participants’ responses revealed that one’s professional identity is both dynamic and foundational and endures as an important component of one’s professional nursing life. (Source: Nurse Leader)
