A perspective of nurse leadership and complexity theory: The International Network of Nurses (TINN) Interested in Alcohol, Tobacco and Drug Misuse

Abstract

King, Jr, this nurse also has a dream. In my dream I see nurses from many parts of the world gathered in a city, and I see the headlines in the world news. Nurse researchers and clinical scholars gathered to discuss and debate (such and such topic) and they decided that the most effective approach to caring for people who suffer from (that health or illness experience) are for nurses to do (such and such intervention). In this dream I take part of a realitynurses from may different countries gathered in one city -and add to it what I wish would happen, should happen, could happen. I wish that nurses would make headlines with a collective voice, and, more importantly, that collective scholarship would drive policies that become the gold standard for nursing actions throughout the world' (Meleis, 2002).
