Shared Governance is: a medium through which
nursing care is designed and transformed via
positive, forward thinking and collaborative practice
and development of the professional nurse.

Our Goal is: to empower nurses with the tools they
need to drive Evidence Based Practice changes in all
venues resulting in increased engagement and
positive patient outcomes through collaboration,
development and unity within the discipline of
nursing.

I am looking forward to: the formation of a
cohesive nursing voice that is recognized as a leader
in driving nursing practice.
We are all a part of Shared
Governance!
