Historically, nurses have contributed from bedside to the boardroom. It is now even more important for nurses to have a seat at the board room table. The registered nurse is in the unique position to educate others about the inner workings and failings of health care to provide insight on improvements needed to impact positive outcomes. You will learn tips as to how you can use your knowledge to be selected to serve on board to contributing to the work of the board.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe strategies as an individual to be an effective board member.
• Examine nurses’ responsibilities to society beyond the bedside.
• Appraise the historical and contemporary contributions that nurses make from bedside to boardroom.
• Discuss tips from getting selected to serve to sitting at the board table.
