==Professional Service==
==Professional Service==
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-left:4em; max-width:66em !important;">Professional nursing embodies service in practice arenas, professional organizations and the university. Nurses are vital members of the healthcare team to promote health and reduce the burden of illness for diverse patients, families, communities and populations through interprofessional collaborative practice. Service through professional involvement in local, state, national and international organizations enhances the discipline of nursing and provides an example for developing minds. Service to the university system supports the discipline of nursing and the academic profession. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-left:4em; max-width:66em !important;">We believe service is an essential expression of professional nursing and academic citizenship. Through engagement in practice settings, professional organizations, communities, and the university, nurses contribute to the advancement of health, education and the nursing profession. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-left:4em; max-width:66em !important;">We believe collaboration, advocacy, and leadership are fundamental responsibilities of professional nurses. Service promotes health, reduces the burden of illness, and supports the well-being of all individuals, families, communities and populations while strengthening the profession and society. </p>
