#ANIA2024 left us in awe of Kelly Aldrich DNP, RN, NI-BC, FHIMSS, FAAN and her profound insights into nursing progress. As a nurse-founded and nurse-led organization, we echo the sentiment that #nurses don't wait for a seat at the table; we've been leading the way all along. 👩🏻⚕️ 💪🏾 Equally impactful was her distinction between innovation and transformation. It's not just about having a brilliant idea; it's about executing it reliably and with purpose, ensuring lasting progress and meaningful change. 🌐 At #NurseDisrupted, we are proud to have been successfully live with #VirtualNursing since 2020.

Adhere diligently to universal protocol to avoid the 3Ws (wrong patient, wrong side and site and wrong procedure). This safeguards patient well-being and fosters a culture of excellence in healthcare delivery. Together, let us uphold the highest standards of care for every surgical patient entrusted to us. #skillsformed #nursingeducation #nurses #patientsafety
