Nurses feel empowered to make decisions with shared governance
Adopting shared governance helps empower direct care nurses in decision-making, according to this article. Diana Swihart, a nurse expert on shared governance, names four important factors in creating this environment, including a committed nurse executive and a strong management team, and said that a design team composed of nurses and interprofessional teams is needed to make the transition to shared governance.

The present and future nursing shortage can make our lives a lot harder than it needs to be.
We can make the difference in how the future unrolls and how our workplace issues worsen or improve.It does not have to be a union. It does not have to be anarchy. It just has to be enough nurses with enough voices to make the difference.
I want so much more for nurses.
Shared governance is the answer to many nursing issues, but it requires an administration and management that truly cares about maintaining nursing satisfaction, autonomy, and workplace safety.
