This compilation of stories from more than 40 diverse nurse leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs portrays the winding and demanding paths that every nurse has braved in order to improve themselves, their patients' care, and the healthcare of today. These Rebel Nurses push the boundaries of their profession by demanding a seat at the table of healthcare innovation, lobbying on Capitol Hill, expanding their horizons to fix the broken healthcare systems around the world, and valuing the humanity of the inevitable moments of life's end.

The inspiring innovation and entrepreneurship of these nurse leaders range from the incorporation of informatics or design communities and the implementation of artificial intelligence, to the creation of New York's Silicon Valley or nationwide adolescent programs that focus on school shootings--consistently disrupting the status quo through implementing life-changing procedures and policies. Readers will be inspired to transform today's era of healthcare by improving communities, implementing proactive care, and enhancing the environment of health and healing through research and policy application.
