Global nursing leadership: a professional imperative.
Globalization is an inevitable trend in the modern world, as our communities become both closer and more diverse. Globalization is examined in this report as a key factor in recognizing the intersection of health and development. Nurse leaders face the crucial need to understand and take initiatives in responding to this radically changing world. The transformation of nursing requires active participation and leadership in practice, education, research, and policy arenas. To participate in shaping the public understanding of health and development, nurse leaders must be included in the multinational and multidisciplinary decision processes that shape health care at home and abroad.
