When asked about the five rights, most nurses automatically think about a safety measure used to prevent medication errors: right med, right dose, right time, right route, right person The Bill of Rights for Registered Nurses states that: * \'Nurses have the right to practice in a manner that fulfills their obligations to society and to those who receive nursing care * Nurses have the right to practice in environments that allow them to act in accordance with professional standards and legally authorized scopes of practice * Nurses have the right to a work environment that supports and facilitates ethical practice, in accordance with Code of Ethics for Nurses and its interpretive statements * Nurses have the right to freely and openly advocate for themselves and their patients, without fear of retribution * Nurses have the right to fair compensation for their work, consistent with their educational preparation, knowledge, experience and professional responsibilities * Nurses have the right to a work environment that is safe for themselves and their patients * Nurses in all practice settings have the right to negotiate, either as individuals or collectively, the conditions of their employment To lead is to live dangerously because when leadership counts, when you lead people through difficult change, you challenge what people hold dear - with nothing more to offer perhaps than a possibility [ ]leadership often means exceeding the authority you are given to tackle the challenge at hand
