ResumoA new doctor of nursing practice (DNP), Cynthia, was distraught. “I'm going to lose my job, Bob. My chief nurse told me to implement shared governance, and I didn't.” Cynthia's capstone program included measuring governance in her hospital after a period of implementation, and the score fell short of the shared governance zone. “But Cynthia,” I insisted, “Surely, you and she were in this together. She had a role in this, too.” “No, Bob. She told me she was too busy, and it was my job.” I called several months later, and Cynthia answered the phone. I said, “I guess you didn't get fired. You're still there.” “Yes. It's a funny thing. The chief nurse was fired.” A new doctor of nursing practice (DNP), Cynthia, was distraught. “I'm going to lose my job, Bob.
