Confessions Of A Nurse Executive
Conscious and unconscious bias has an impact on hiring, promotion, and mentoring, and contributes to healthcare disparities. Nurses are leaving the bedside at a rapid rate and turning towards opportunities that foster improved mental health and the removal from toxic work environments. Nurses are skilled in overcoming adversities. If you believe in yourself and the POWER that you possess, you will overcome disparities that were meant to deter you from your purpose. There is life after the bedside. Confessions Of A Nurse Executive is dedicated to Tomorrow’s Empowered Nurse.
