Abstract

Multiple articles have explained the benefits of nurses as hospital board members. The Nurses on Boards Coalition has been working for several years to increase the number of nurse board members. Yet, the percentage of hospital and health care board positions filled by nurses has been decreasing. This article shares what all nurse leaders can do to increase the visibility of nurses as competent, valuable voices at the board table.
