Abstrakt: Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore the impact of nurses on boards (NOBs) from the perspectives of board leaders who are not nurses.
Background: Research about the impact of NOBs derives from nurses' recall of board experiences. No studies explore the impact of NOBs from perspectives other than nurses.
Methods: Researchers used an exploratory qualitative design with purposive sampling and interviewed 16 participants.
Results: According to participants, NOBs impact board governance as boundary spanners within the healthcare ecosystem. The overarching pattern is supported by 6 traversing themes.
Conclusions: Board leaders' perspectives of NOBs as boundary spanners illustrate the far-reaching impact nurses have in the board role and on the direction of healthcare organizations.
Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
