Abstract

In this 3rd part of our 6-part series on value-informed nursing practice—practice that focuses on both achieving desired patient outcomes and minimizing the use of costly resources to achieve these outcomes—we focus on the importance of nurses in improving environmental outcomes and reducing costly environmental waste. We also propose how nursing education needs to change to prepare the next generation of nurses to effectively address environmental problems through providing value-informed nursing practice.
