title: Stewardship and leadership in nursing.
abstract: The concept or metaphor of stewardship is important to the future of the discipline of nursing. Nurse leaders and scholars of the discipline are entrusted to preserve and hold in trust the value priorities of the discipline as well as the value priorities of others who are living health. The author here offers a discussion of possible meanings and ethical implications for enhancing the discipline's potential obligations of leadership and stewardship as a basic human science discipline.
