However, I am aware that the beginning of effective leadership would be by developing a vision of the organization where a nurse leader serves. Coming up with a picture of what would be a future of excellence in delivering nursing care in the organization would be crucial in motivating and raising commitment among the other nurses. As a nurse leader, the vision that I would hold dear would be to ensure I have the capacity to make sure that the systems in place benefit individual needs of the patients in a manner that patients are always handled with respect and dignity while the work that nurses perform is respected and valued. For this to be met, there is a need for the nurse leader to assist the other nurses grasp the envisioned picture and remaining at the forefront in directing the others on where to go. Subsequently, I would want to be the kind of a nurse leader who can enable the staff to grasp the vision, to make sure the appropriate people assume the nursing roles and to model the behaviors that are desired of the other
Professional practice reflects autonomy when the nurse respects patient’s rights to make decisions about their health care” (Taylor, 1997).

I feel that nurses should use legislation, standards of practice and code of ethics to practice this profession. After the victory signing up the petition, it seems that still uncertainty of the true image of how nurses are described in the media.
By doing this, I can plan the care for my patients based on their proprieties and commit to them without forgetting anything, as I tend to forget tasks with higher patient loads if they aren’t written down. Another strength I have is leadership. I like taking a leadership role on my unit by delegating appropriate tasks to the healthcare team in order to ensure all the needs of my patients and skills are completed by the end of my shift. Another quality I possess that I think is a strength in nursing is that I love to teach and adapt to my patient’s learning styles based on their priority needs. I think teaching is an essential part of nursing because you find ways of somehow passing on essential knowledge needed by your patients in order to treat, ease, prevent and manage certain disease processes.
This phrase and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care”{A.N.A, N.O}, embodied the centrality of patient centered care as advocates for the patient by identifying with the person at end of the bed {Benner, Sutphen, Leonard & Day, 2010}. APPLICATION TO CURRENT JOB Rendering patient care in my unit has to be holistic management physical, spiritual and others not minding the norms of the client involved.

I want to make people feel good and confident about themselves no matter their situation in life. I want my patients to know that I am in their corner. I also want for my impact on their lives to be used to help other people they come into contact with.

Demonstrate how things function in the department and step forward to help them. Teaching the new nurses about the methods practiced and narrating your own experiences can help them get acquainted with the job easily as well as increase your chances of moving to an upper position.
