The Value of Professional Governance during a National Pandemic
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In the early months of 2020, the coronavirus or COVID-19 virus took the nation by storm. Fear, panic, and uncertainty were the constant day to day theme. Everything seemed to be unknown and put-on pause; this included halting all professional governance council meetings. At other hospitals in the United States, frontline nurses and interdisciplinary colleagues were concerned about what happened to professional governance and how they can continue to use their voice to implement impactful changes. This article advises on lessons learned and recommendations of how to continue a safe and productive professional governance structure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
