The Remote Influence of Nursing Leadership.

Maintaining connection and support of staff amid the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) was difficult.

Although remote work caused the leader to be separated from the staff, these messages helped support them through adaption, change, progress, and promotion of resiliency. The ability to inspire is an essential leadership trait, invaluable in times of crisis.
