BY DEFINITION A LEADER IS “a person who has commanding authority or influence”, but there’s much more to being a leader than that, especially in the world of nursing.
Are you a leader? Nurses have assigned roles and specific titles that involve skill management. To be a leader in the field of nursing goes beyond assigned authority. Nurse leaders are confident, committed, inspiring and honest every shift, day and night (just to name a few of the 10 qualities that make a great leader according to More Than Accountants).

Leading nurses challenge the status quo and continue to challenge themselves whether they’ve been a nurse for a month or 10 years.

Chances are, you’re reading this because you’re passionate about nursing and being a great one at that, but the job can make us all want to hide under a rock. Finding inspiration to become a leading nurse can be a difficult task, but no worries we have you covered with these 20 inspiring nursing quotes! For more quotes visit us on Pinterest!
