After reviewing the research articles and discovering nosocomial CLABSIs are an issue in many areas of nursing care, it is evident nurses need further education on this matter.

As the culture of health care changes " Emphasis is shifting from acute, hospital-based care to preventive, community-based care, which is provided in nontraditional health care settings in the community" (Edelman & Mandle, p. 19).

It is an exciting time in health care and the strength of nurses is only beginning to be recognized, there are so many great things to come on well planned nursing intervention at a time.

Virginia Henderson developed the nursing need theory, which focuses on increasing the patient’s independence to speed up the recovery process (Alligood and Tomey, 2009). This is where my theory begins to connect with hers. Our main duty as nurses is to provide care for the patient while they are unable to care for themselves and facilitate them to be the best individual they can be. For this reason nursing is both a science and an art. It is a science in that nurses must understand the disease processes that are affecting the patient’s health, they must also practice based on evidence that is defended by science, and know how to operate equipment and machines.

According to the interviewees, nursing leadership may refer to the nurses’ having a passion for nursing and possessing critical thinking skills (MrDjaskari, 2013). A nurse leader manages the interactions between all departments in an organization to ensure a smooth running of the operations. Nurse leaders strive to make productive changes in health care policy and procedures to provide care that best benefits the patients. A nurse leader should be politically involved and should participate in the enactments of health care related laws that are beneficial for patients (MrDjaskari, 2013).
