Cardiovascular nurses play a vital role in reducing the global burden of cardiovascular disease through their multiple leadership roles and focus on prevention. From serving as an informal or formal clinical leader, case manager, educator, mentor for emerging cardiovascular nurses or nurse leaders, champion for quality of care, or policy advocate, as examples, cardiovascular nurse leaders can have a profound impact on improving outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. As leaders, cardiovascular nurses must be prepared for their roles through development of leadership competencies to ultimately shape decisions in their settings, whether in clinical care, management, education, advanced practice, and research or through community and professional organizations. This article revisits the competencies required of nurse leaders to be effective in cardiovascular disease prevention and improving outcomes in a changing healthcare environment.

Background: To strengthen holistic health care delivery, influential interprofessional (IP) leadership skills are crucial for nurse practitioners (NPs) working within typical disease-focused practice settings. To build competencies, an IP leadership learning protocol (ILLP) was developed using an evidence-informed conflict resolution self-study and patient-care video conference (PCVC) for family NP students, which was later adapted for psychiatric mental health (PMH) NP students and measured effectiveness.

Method: Flipped-classroom initial self-study of IP leadership strategies and relevant clinical considerations culminated in applying this learning within the PCVC by role-playing deliberately contrived adversarial IP roles with a faculty facilitator intermittently designating students to act as the IP leader.

The creation and sustainability of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Director of Nursing Practice is crucial in the pursuit of health equity and in creating inclusive environments that foster racially and ethnically diverse nursing workforce and ensuring culturally competent patient care. As institutions seek to achieve health equity, we have seen an increase in the rise of DEI practitioners in academic settings, although that has not been the same among DEI practitioners in nursing practice. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity Report (NAM, 2021) emphasizes the importance of recognizing diversity and calls for a new generation of nurse leaders who can champion this cause.
