| dc.description.abstract | Vocationally educated Licensed Practical Nurses are seldom viewed as potential leaders in
health care organizations. And yet, transformational leadership practices were evident as
Licensed Practical Nurses graduated from a Bachelor of Nursing program and transitioned
towards a new role. This article, framed from Kouzes and Posner’s (2007) model of
transformational leadership, presents two key themes illustrating how these nurses changed and
grew as a result of their university education. First, Post LPN to BN nurses identified a changed
awareness of the implications of their new role as they neared program completion. Second,
following graduation, they developed confidence and a vision of the nursing profession as a
result of upgrading their nursing credentials. | en |
