title: Shared governance. Opportunities for intravenous nurses.
abstract: Intravenous nurses must find their work both satisfying and fulfilling, emotionally and professionally. Autonomy is a vital component of long tenure and satisfaction. Nurses need to get involved in decision making, setting standards, and ensuring quality. Shared Governance, a professional nursing practice model, provides the structure for accountability for nursing practice and participation in the process. I.V. nurses have a unique opportunity to be in the leadership forefront because of their mobility and visibility within their institutions.
