title: Empowerment for the ophthalmic nurse.
abstract: Self-empowerment is the means by which nurses can take charge of their own professional development and help determine nursing's future. Becoming involved in nursing organizations, taking political action, and enlisting the cooperation of health care consumers are major steps toward this goal that can be attained when a nurse achieves personal power through personal growth.
