CORE VALUES
Mission
The National League for Nursing promotes excellence in nursing education to build a
strong and diverse nursing workforce to advance the health of our nation and the global
community.
CORE VALUES
CARING: promoting health, healing, and hope in response to the human condition
INTEGRITY: respecting the dignity and moral wholeness of every person without
conditions or limitation;
DIVERSITY: affirming the uniqueness of and differences among persons, ideas, values,
and ethnicities.
EXCELLENCE: co-creating and implementing transformative strategies with daring
ingenuity.
CARING
A culture of caring, as a fundamental part of the nursing profession, characterizes our
concern and consideration for the whole person, our commitment to the common good,
and our outreach to those who are vulnerable. All organizational activities are managed
in a participative and person-centered way, demonstrating an ability to understand the
needs of others and a commitment to act always in the best interests of all stakeholders.
INTEGRITY
A culture of integrity is evident when organizational principles of open communication,
ethical decision-making, and humility are encouraged, expected, and demonstrated
consistently. Not only is doing the right thing simply how we do business, but our actions
reveal our commitment to truth telling and to how we always see ourselves from the
perspective of others in a larger community.
DIVERSITY
A culture of inclusive excellence encompasses many identities, influenced by the
intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age,
physical abilities, religious and political beliefs, or other ideologies. It also addresses
behaviors across academic and health enterprises. Differences affect innovation so we
must work to understand both ourselves and one another. And by acknowledging the
legitimacy of us all, we move beyond tolerance to celebrating the richness that
differences bring forth.
EXCELLENCE
A culture of excellence reflects a commitment to continuous growth, improvement, and
understanding. It is a culture where transformation is embraced, and the status quo and
mediocrity are not tolerated.
What Is a Nurse Entrepreneur?
A nurse entrepreneur has a professional background in nursing. Many nurses have
clinical experience so they understand the delivery of patient care. They apply their
nursing knowledge and educational preparation to start a business in the healthcare field.
What Can Nurse Entrepreneurs Do?
Nurse entrepreneurs have a multitude of options for creating a business within the
healthcare industry. Ventures may include:
 Developing computerized systems, medical devices or healthcare products.

 Providing home health nursing services or telehealth nursing.
 Serving as a legal consultant.
 Working as a medical representative.
 Providing mobile health service.
 Selling medical equipment.
 Serving as a wound care nurse.
What Are the Steps to Starting a Business?
The creation of a business begins with pinpointing a problem and coming up with a
solution that is needed. Here are seven steps you should take prior to launching your
business.
 Research your idea to see if it is feasible.

 Study the market to consider the demand or any competition.
 Identify your customers.
 Check local licensing regulations.

residences or conduct business from a home office or rental location. Additionally, they
can be contractors who visit patients in hospitals or clinics. Government agencies,
nonprofit groups or community centers also may employ the services of nurse
entrepreneurs.
What Skills Do You Need?

Successful nurse entrepreneurs are capable of performing many functions depending on
the type of business. Nurses may work alone or employ staff. They may have to schedule
appointments, travel, conduct presentations and handle finances. Thus, they may
function as a chief executive officer (CEO), administrative assistant, salesperson and
accountant. Successful nurse entrepreneurs exhibit:

 Problem-solving.
 Self-motivation.
5 ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR DELIVERING COMPASSIONATE CARE IN NURSING:
1. Emotional intelligence. Strive for high emotional intelligence to handle interpersonal
relationships with coworkers and patients. Awareness and mastery of your emotions and
others’ emotions will help you provide compassionate care.
2. Resilience. Maintain personal resilience through participation in reflective activities to
explore personal values and others’ perspectives. An article published by the American
Journal of Critical Care shows that participating in these types of self-exploration
activities can improve a nurse’s resilience which is “associated with increased hope and
reduced stress.” With increased resilience and reduced stress, nurses are ready to
provide quality and compassionate patient care.
3. Critical thinking. Demonstrate the ability to think critically and solve problems quickly
to achieve high-yielding results in patient satisfaction and care. Nurses who can find
solutions deliver compassionate care effectively to patients and families.
4. Cultural awareness. Maintain cultural awareness as it relates to patient-centered
care. Culture can influence a patient’s view of treatment, overall health, and death.
Knowing the patient well enough to determine their cultural view can augment the nurse-
patient relationship in a positive way.
5. Confidence. A nurse with the ability to communicate any instances of abatement in
quality of patient care is critical to fostering the culture of the caring environment within
the healthcare organization. Nurses must be able to discuss issues and indicate a clear
vision of how compassionate organizations should function with both peers and leaders.
