title: The Importance of the Partner: Supporting Nurse Leaders' Journey to Executive Roles.
abstract: Having a fully committed partner is an asset some nurse executives celebrate. The life partner can play a critical role in the nurse executive's career from a personal perspective. The importance of being flexible and balancing "who does what" and how to manage through life's challenges is reported through three nurse executives' stories and one spouse. Having a partner enriches the life journey, according to these leaders.
