• NURSING LEADERS AT ONE FACILITY challenged staff nurses in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) to implement a modified process of shared governance, a model that allows staff nurses to influence their practice. • AS A RESULT OF THIS INITIATIVE, PACU nurses were able to collaborate with other perioperative staff members, ultimately increasing patient safety. • SUCCESSES INCLUDED increased staff nurse participation in educational projects; increased interdisciplinary collaboration; personal and professional development for the nurses involved; and recognition from a highly esteemed, national organization.
