Why is it important?
Appreciation ignites hope and positive action. Leaders should cultivate a culture of appreciation to encourage nurses to practice caring presence.
Perspectives
This article is an important opportunity to share a positive perspective about nurses, and to appreciate their dedication and hard work. It is my hope that such a publication will not only be an acknowledgement of nurses, but also an inspiration to nurses to continue providing high quality nursing care.
