Unprecedented is one of the words that has been most frequently heard during the COVID-19 pandemic. We read daily about the ongoing challenges nurses and nurse leaders face in ways that one could not have imagined 15 months ago. With each wave of rising COVID-19 cases, we are reminded of the toll that this pandemic is having on nurses. Nurse leaders have described being scared of failing and not being able to guide or support their staff through the pandemic while recognizing the need to be a strong leader, resilient and adaptable to change every single day (Lapum et al. 2021). The uncertainty and complexity have been overwhelming, and throughout this crisis, nurse leaders have been continually asked to reach into their leadership toolboxes to find ways to support nurses within contexts that have rapidly changed over and over again.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，“前所未有”是人们最常听到的词汇之一。我们每天都读到护士和护理领导人在过去 15 个月里无法想象的持续挑战。随着每一波 COVID-19 病例的上升，我们都意识到这场大流行对护士造成的影响。护理领导人描述了他们害怕失败，无法在大流行期间指导或支持他们的员工，同时认识到需要成为一名坚强的领导者，每天都要保持韧性和适应变化(Lapum 等人，2021)。不确定性和复杂性令人难以承受，在这场危机中，护士领导人不断被要求从他们的领导工具箱中寻找方法，在不断变化的环境中支持护士。
