Abstract

The purpose of the study was to explore the impact of nurses on boards (NOBs) from the perspectives of board leaders who are not nurses. Research about the impact of NOBs derives from nurses' recall of board experiences. No studies explore the impact of NOBs from perspectives other than nurses. Researchers used an exploratory qualitative design with purposive sampling and interviewed 16 participants. According to participants, NOBs impact board governance as boundary spanners within the healthcare ecosystem. The overarching pattern is supported by 6 traversing themes. Board leaders' perspectives of NOBs as boundary spanners illustrate the far-reaching impact nurses have in the board role and on the direction of healthcare organizations.
