In January 2019, Organization of Nurse Leaders, MA, RI, NH, CT, VT (ONL) led ten nursing organizations through a Nursing Summit in central Massachusetts to bring nurses together, hear their concerns and feedback, and enhance trust among nurses. The Nursing Summit focused on engaging clinical nurses, listening, and elevating their voice. Every person in the room was a Registered Nurse (RN). By design, all roles and titles were removed from name badges to eliminate hierarchy and enhance open and honest dialogue about the state of nursing. The Nursing Summit was an opportunity to celebrate professional nursing and to remind ourselves why we chose this profession and why we decide to stay.
