One of my favourite quotes on excellence is from Murali Chemuturi, and as I read it I want you to hold it in your mind as I’ll be referring back to it. “Excellence,” he says, “is a continuously moving target, pursued through actions of integrity. It is being the frontrunner, providing safe and reliable service to others, meeting all obligations,” and yet, “continuously learning and improving in all spheres, to pursue that moving target.” I cannot think of a better working definition for excellence in the practice of nursing. To have integrity, striving for safe and excellent care for others, and committing to being lifelong learners. It requires a strong dose of humility and constant self-examination. Excellence starts with a question. A question I will end with later.
