In the foreword by Molly K. McCarthy MBA, BSN, RN-BC, National Director, US Provider Industry, and Chief Nursing Officer at Microsoft US Health and Life Sciences, we are introduced to the incredible stories of Rebel Nurses – pioneers who have challenged the status quo and taken the road less traveled. As you delve into these inspiring stories, remember that every journey is marked by self-doubt, fear of failure, and uncertainty, but these remarkable individuals persevered and achieved remarkable success.

SONSIEL, an Associate Member of The Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations (CoNGO) to the United Nations, has compiled the stories of over 40 diverse nurse leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs who have bravely paved their own paths to improve patient care, healthcare, and their own profession. These Rebel Nurses have pushed the boundaries of their profession, demanding a seat at the table of healthcare innovation, lobbying on Capitol Hill, expanding their horizons to fix broken healthcare systems worldwide, and valuing humanity in the face of life’s inevitable moments.

Innovative Nursing Leadership and Entrepreneurship

The inspiring innovation and entrepreneurship of these nurse leaders range from incorporating informatics, design communities, and artificial intelligence to creating New York’s Silicon Valley and nationwide adolescent programs focused on school shootings. They consistently disrupt the status quo by implementing life-changing procedures and policies.

Through their stories, 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.
