title: The professional practice model: a staff-initiated implementation.
abstract: Many nursing administrators have implemented hospital wide professional practice systems in the form of shared governance or collaborative practice models. Current literature shows limited descriptions of shared governance from a staff nurse's perspective. This article describes the successful implementation of a staff-initiated professional practice model (PPM). Using the nursing process, a PPM can be instituted in any PACU when specific characteristics of professional practice are present within the group.
