title: Are you "just a nurse?".
abstract: Recently, I had the privilege of hearing Suzanne Gordon, an award-winning journalist and coauthor of From Silence to Voice: What Nurses Know and Must Communicate to the Public, address a group of 3,000 nurses, most of them women. Her key message was the importance of nurses finding their voices, voices that can tell the public, our colleagues, and legislators about what we do and how important our role is in the health care system.1.
