Good evening! Welcome to the world of safety. A Culture of Safety. Nurses today are the gatekeepers of safety for the patients we serve. This blog will explore different concepts surrounding safety. Medical errors in health care are related to poorly designed processes of care, lack of support systems for decision making and a structured environment in which nurses work (Page, 2004). Nurses must become engaged in the processes that can create a safe day every day for our patients. This is vital for our profession. I hope to reveal evidence that will motivate and empower nurses out in cyber land to go back to their units and create a safe day for their patients they care for.
