Thoughts on Nursing Leadership from Terris Kennedy, RN, PhD
Chief Nursing Officer/Vice President

As Riverside's Chief Nursing Officer, I would like to share some of our guiding tenets and aspirations for nursing at Riverside:

The Role of Nursing – Nurses are the patient care interface, assuring that each patient's clinical care plan is followed.  This responsibility within the Riverside Health System positions nursing as an essential and highly valued component of our integrated patient care delivery system.

Nursing Leadership – Nurses in leadership positions will promote and encourage opportunities for nursing staff to pursue professional growth and development, nursing research interests and service to the community. And nursing leadership will also support quality nursing practice through cutting edge technology that, in turn, enhances innovative approaches to evidence-based nursing care delivery.

Empowerment– Through organizational self-governance structures, nursing councils will be accountable for nursing practice and will design nursing-led delivery systems to meet the needs of patients within diverse healthcare specialties and communities.
