There are five, non-negotiable principles for successful shared governance. Is your facility implementing them?
Shared governance is vital to retention because it empowers nurses to share in decisions about their practice—that’s why it’s also a requirement for attaining ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® status. Although overwhelming evidence shows the benefits of building and maintaining a shared governance process, many facilities still struggle with resources, support, and implementation.
