This was then summarized in a presentation that was disseminated in the week 7 dissemination meeting to support the proposed project. I believe that the series of meetings with the project team helped me, as a nurse leader, rise above the nursing norm of caring for patients, to a new role of leading inter-disciplinary teams towards innovative change in a practical setting guided by evidence-based practice.References
