Nursing is in a challenging place, and we are facing many incredibly complex issues that are steeped in culture and tradition. These "wicked problems" often arise when organizations face constant change or unprecedented challenges. In this article, we discuss current issues that hinder all nurse leaders from elevating nursing as a profession, with a particular focus on the role and contributions of the academic nurse leader in creating and sustaining positive change. By prioritizing meaningful collaboration, reimagining education for nursing outside the hospital walls, investing in evidence for practice, and advocating by amplifying new voices, we can identify shared goals and develop coordinated plans of action. The goal of academic nursing is to work to understand wicked disciplinary problems while also analyzing and critiquing what is not working, articulating possible solutions, and collaborating with other nurse leaders to address these complex issues. This also means that academic nursing should be held equally accountable for delivering results.
护理正处于一个充满挑战的境地，我们面临着许多复杂的问题，这些问题深深地植根于文化和传统之中。这些“棘手问题”通常出现在组织面临持续变化或前所未有的挑战时。在本文中，我们讨论了阻碍所有护理领导者提升护理专业的当前问题，特别关注学术护理领导者在创造和维持积极变革方面的作用和贡献。通过优先考虑有意义的合作、重新构想医院墙外的护理教育、为实践投资证据以及通过放大新声音来倡导，我们可以确定共同目标并制定协调的行动计划。学术护理的目标是努力理解棘手的学科问题，同时分析和批评不起作用的方面，阐述可能的解决方案，并与其他护理领导者合作解决这些复杂问题。这也意味着学术护理应该对交付结果承担同等责任。
