What makes a ward leader?
Article Abstract:
There are six nurses who have been shortlisted for the Foundation of Nursing/Nursing Times clinical leadership award. Many of them have introduced changes in working practices and they encourage their staff to develop their skills and they also listen to what other nurses and patients say. All the nurses have additional qualifications and value working as part of the team. Having leadership qualities and being able to solve problems are vital elements of being a good ward leader.

Nurse prescribing: debate
Article Abstract:
Plans to allow nurses the legal right to prescribe medicines to patients could be regarded as a tactical strategy by doctors to take over some of their more menial tasks, while remaining under the ultimate control of the practitioner. Another view of nurse prescribing is its positive acceptance of the developing role of nurses within medicine, allowing nurses to take a more responsible role in the care of patients and the delivery of care.
