Abstract
Nurses and nurse leaders comprise the largest segment of the healthcare workforce and take on significant responsibility as advocates for patients, families, and their teams. As gatekeepers for safe, quality patient care and healthy work environments for their teams, nurse leaders navigate complex and often chaotic situations that require ethical assessment, analysis, and decision-making. Nurse leaders equipped with ethical knowledge, skills, and behaviors lead with strengthened confidence and reduced moral distress. This paper examines the importance of ethical leadership in healthcare; why formal training beyond academic preparation is vital; and how leaders can advocate for ongoing support and development.
