title: Networking for nurses in today's turbulent times.
abstract: Networking is a critical component for any nurse's success in today's turbulent times. Traditionally seen as a skill set reserved for nurse executives, proficient networking abilities must now be developed by nurses at all levels. Cultivating a diverse network of people and being able to use it wisely will make a difference for many nurses in their careers. Once a luxury for augmenting one's professional development, networking has become a required component for successfully managing the rapidly changing health care environment nurses face every day.
