As a bedside nurse in the intensive care unit (ICU), I did not have much understanding of the financial impact my care was having on the patients and my hospital. I have since graduated with a master’s degree in nursing as a clinical nurse specialist and achieved a doctorate of nursing practice.

I ask myself: How do I advocate for the best patient care while balancing costs to ensure a financially healthy organization? The answer: The ICU Liberation campaign.
