MSN-prepared nurses serve as leaders across a wide array of healthcare and organizational contexts,
influencing individuals, teams, organizations, and communities. Recognizing this far-reaching impact of

Why are self-care and self-leadership important, and how do they relate to one's competency as
a leader? How is self-care related to self-leadership?
Based upon the Chamberlain Care Model, what are the implications when adequate self-care is

How are self-care and self-leadership reflected in the principles of authentic leadership?
What are the implications of effective self-leadership and self-care in your future MSN role?
Provide two recommendations to further cultivate self-care and self-leadership.

expected to maintain organizational standards of patient care while keeping a sense of well-being
