Abstract

In October 2010, the Institute of Medicine and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation released The Future of Nursing report. One way that “Recommendation 7: Prepare and enable nurses to lead change and advance health” has been operationalized has been placing nurses on boards, and nursing organizations have urged their constituents to serve in this capacity.
