Featured Excerpts from Previous Publications

“You cannot change the standard of care if you don’t change the standard of practice” ~Maria W. O’Rourke

“For the Greater Good” by Candy Goulette,
Advance for Nurses, January 2007

“The key principle of the professional practice model is that accountability for determining the patient’s condition and directing care activities in relation to the patient’s changing status is a professional role responsibility.”  ~Maria W. O’Rourke

“Rebuilding a Professional Practice Model,”
Nursing Administration Quarterly, Vol. 27, 2003

“Restructuring the practice setting requires a shift from our current environment, which fosters self-interest, turf wars and the blurring of roles, to one in which there is an understanding and appreciation of the valuable differences among professional, technical and assisting roles. ” ~Maria W. O’Rourke

“Professional Practice and Collaboration,”
Nursing Horizons, 1994
