Abstract

The idea of nurses performing extraordinary feats is not unheard of. Nurses are many things, to many different people. They provide care to all. They speak up for their patients and their profession. They are as diverse as they are knowledgeable. They all have the uncanny ability to stand up and emerge as leaders. The purpose of this presentation is to inform nurses of their innate ability to become leaders in their profession. This presentation will provide a potential roadmap that can develop a nurse's capacity to influence global health. Through awareness and acknowledgment of one's current and potential scope of influence, the nurse can consider their capacity to influence others. Various leadership models are available and discussed that may assist the nurse in their leadership development. Nurses will be able to demonstrate the importance and significance in designing their leadership journey in order to accomplish their professional ambitions.
