FORMING YOUR OWN VIEW OF LEADERSHIP
As you move into your nursing career, it helps to start forming your
own view of leadership in nursing.
When do you know you are a leader? Who inspired you? What
obstacles do you have to overcome to be a leader? What qualities
do leaders share? What qualities do the worst leaders share?
Do you speak up when someone is treated poorly? What does it
take to be al leader?
