Abstract

It is strategic to describe and disseminate available examples of how nurses find the modus operandi to being fully integrated in their organizations, including the nurse role in determining improvements in clinical practice, management, education, and/or research. This article describes the recent experiences of Gruppo San Donato International Nursing Academy. The disruptive case shared here underlines the worth of nursing within health care organizations. The Gruppo San Donato International Nursing Academy aims to be a striking model to innovate health care delivery through the optimal utilization of the nursing workforce, uniting the areas of nursing management, nursing education, and research into a unique organizational platform.
