On Thursday, May 8, Rhonda Collins, chief nursing officer of Vocera, will be among thousands of people who will view the premiere of *The American Nurse*, a film by Carolyn Jones that follows five nurses, across five locations in distinctly different nursing roles as they provide care and change the lives of their patients. For a preview of the film, visit[www.vocera.com/nursesweek](http://www.vocera.com/nursesweek?ref=foodconsumer.org). "Carolyn is spectacular at shining the light on extraordinary people doing extraordinary things to care for their patients. Nurses are remarkable individuals who deserve special thanks for all they do to help heal humanity one person at time," said Collins. The day of the film premiere, Collins will lead a Vocera Nurses Week Tweet Chat to provide nurses and others an opportunity to share their personal stories about the importance of the profession and how nurses are transforming care delivery. To participate in the Tweet Chat, scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT on May 8, join the @RhondaCNO Twitter feed and use the hashtag #VNW14. In a recently published paper, "The CNO Perspective," Collins elaborates on the vital role nurses play in driving healthcare innovations. When asked to provide her viewpoint on the key trends and challenges in healthcare, she shared key insights on the importance of empowering nurses and improving care team communications. "When nurses are empowered to make decisions regarding how they deliver patient care and are given tools that greatly enhance clinical workflow communications, the overall experience for patients and nurses improves, ultimately enhancing clinical outcomes, patient and care team satisfaction, and the bottom line," Collins said.
