"As you will read the stories ahead of the incredible, rock star Rebel
Nurses who each have challenged the status quo and chosen the road less
traveled, remember that each journey has its own period of self-doubt,
fear of failure, and uncertainty of success--but they persevered. We
hope that these stories will inspire you to believe in yourself and aim
a little higher each day."

This compilation of stories from more than 40 diverse nurse leaders,
innovators, and entrepreneurs portrays the winding and demanding paths
that every nurse has braved in order to improve themselves, their
patients' care, and the healthcare of today. These Rebel Nurses push the
boundaries of their profession by demanding a seat at the table of
healthcare innovation, lobbying on Capitol Hill, expanding their
horizons to fix the broken healthcare systems around the world, and
valuing the humanity of the inevitable moments of life's end.
The inspiring innovation and entrepreneurship of these nurse leaders
range from the incorporation of informatics or design communities and
the implementation of artificial intelligence, to the creation of New
York's Silicon Valley or nationwide adolescent programs that focus on
school shootings--consistently disrupting the status quo through
implementing life-changing procedures and policies. Readers will be
inspired to transform today's era of healthcare by improving
communities, implementing proactive care, and enhancing the environment
of health and healing through research and policy application.
