Listen to these people on the front lines—the ideas they have and the things they want to do. Every time I bring something to our nurses, they make it faster and better. This is what nurses do.

Keep sharing your ideas. Innovation is an iterative process, if you see a need to make a change, keep talking—even if your idea isn’t perfect.

I think any nurse thinking about applying for a chance to develop either themselves or their ideas should apply, because the worst thing you’ll ever hear is 'No.'

Your ideas and solutions to these challenges will improve healthcare for patients and clinicians across the world, and they are waiting for you to take the next step.

Nurses understand patient needs better than anyone else, so I believe anytime a healthcare product or solution is being developed, a nurse should be involved.

Find a positive environment and surround yourself with people who will encourage, motivate and support you endlessly. Once you set up your goal, it may need to take a little detour, but your persistence will pay off. Keep trying, do not give up and do not settle.

Come forward with your ideas and products, because just by believing in yourself, you can change healthcare. It’s within your power."
