ABSTRACT
A major component of nurse job satisfaction is autonomy of clinical practice, recognition by colleagues, and participation in decision making relative to patient outcomes. Shared governance provides the framework for autonomy and control of practice, yet implementation of this model implies staff participation as leaders. Staff nurses describe a transformation of perspective when adopting decision-making, leadership-oriented roles and recount the factors that influence and nurture their confidence and acceptance.
