Nurses have been known for their crisp white outfits, hats with a red cross and their placement near the patient's bedside.
However, nurses are more and more being asked to step up and take on hospital and health system leadership roles.

Ms. Hayhurst is a member of Capella's nursing core faculty and a consultant to the Air Force Medical Chief Information Officer on clinical applications.
