She revolutionized the role of nursing by creating a system for transcribing doctors’ orders and patient’s records. She made many contributions to nursing research and was politically active to affect the reform of health care. She was not just an “Order Taker”, she was a patient advocate. Patient Advocate Advocacy is the heart and soul of nursing. I look at nurses as like moms.
Being the #1 most trusted profession in the country allows nurses to truly take charge and make a difference in the policy arena. (N.A., Policy & Advocacy, 2013).

It means that we are an active and caring member involved in a deeper level with career and actively involved in helping others in the nursing profession.
Ending Nurse-Nurse Violence with Ethical Leadership NR504: Leadership and Nursing Practice: Role Development Ending Nurse-Nurse Violence with Ethical Leadership Upholding high professional standards and codes of ethics is and always will be a top priority within nursing. There is an abundance of literature focused on the subject, with much of it emphasizing the treatment of patients. However, in the past twenty years there has been an increase in research related to how nurses treat each other. As a profession, nursing is well known for its caring spirit; nurses devote their time and energy to easing the suffering of their patients through the care they deliver. Yet, there exists in on-going trend of nurse-on-nurse violence within the workplace.
Through this adversity however, Mrs. Duvitch exemplifies extreme character and fearlessness – qualities which eventually change the public’s perception of her.

It is stated on page 15 in the text that: “The community presently had reason to be grateful for Mrs. Duvitch’s presence.

Rooting from her shyness, Mrs. Duvitch’s delicacy and grace was apparent in both conversation and ailment.
Lowry, however, stated that she was never given a choice, and subsequently requested a transfer to another department. Walmart then gave her 90 days to find another job within the company, and human resources officials told her that they would have to discuss “next steps” if she couldn’t in time – meaning she would be fired. I found this to be an interesting response to Lowry’s complaint, and I am surprised that Walmart would take such a powerful stance against someone who is trying to reveal potential ethics issues within the company, especially at a time when Walmart was being scrutinized for their firing of marketing executive Julie Roehm for reportedly violating the company’s code of ethics by accepting gifts from vendors and for having an affair with a subordinate, both of which she denies. In a follow-up article in October (Businessweek: Wal-Mart Whistleblower Lands a Job), Businessweek reported that she found a job after 4 months of looking and 30 applications to in-house
However, in late2006, Roehm was fired from the company amidst rumors of her violating Wal-Mart's ethics and gratuity policy. | | Shortly afterwards, Roehm filed a civil suit against Wal-Mart for unlawfully terminating her employment, infringing compensation agreements, and for slandering her in the press. In reply Wal-Mart accused her of violating its employment policies. The public battle between Roehm and Wal-Mart became murkier by the day with Roehm accusing Wal-Mart's top brass including the CEO of violating its ethics code. Analysts felt that this episode brought to the fore various issues which could provide vital learning on organization culture, organizational change, office politics, organizational communication, managerial ethics, employee misconduct, employee surveillance, etc.

Why I Chose Nursing Being a nurse is a very influential and rewarding profession. Nurses care for people through illness, injury, pain, loss, dying, grieving, birth, growth, aging and health. They not only care for people through illness, but they also promote health, prevent diseases and educate the public. We all know that nursing is a field that is concerned with helping people, yet I believe that in becoming a nurse, a person needs more than that desire to succeed. It is essential for a nurse to be open, strong, determined, thoughtful and caring.
Effective leadership styles among nurse managers have been associated with staff nurse job satisfaction and is a key factor in staff nurse retention. Many nurses today feel the overwhelming changes impacting the healthcare systems. Nurses are expected to take on many roles in caring for their patients, causing them to feel that they can give the patient the quality and quantity care that they deserve. Nurses leave their jobs because they feel that they do not have the support of the leadership team. Retention of nursing employees is a strong reason for good leadership.
