en years ago, Kaiser Permanente (KP) Nurse Scholars Academy (NSA) was founded with a bold vision: to elevate nursing leadership, governance, and professional development in ways that would ensure sustainable and meaningful transformation across the organization.From the first stages of development when it was simply an idea and a dialog, I have had the privilege of working with Dr Jim D'Alfonso and his leadership team over the past decade, making a very small contribution to the strategic development of nursing leadership programs, embedding professional governance structures, and integrating quantum leadership principles into the organization's leadership framework.My engagement with NSA's evolution was rooted in a shared commitment to reimagining nursing roles in health care leadership, ensuring that nurses were not only prepared for the future but also positioned as equal partners in shaping the direction of patient care and system transformation.Through many hours of dialog with Jim and other colleagues and my consulting work with KP, I witnessed firsthand how Jim and his team moved NSA to become a driving force in advancing academic and continuing learning opportunities for nurses, professional governance, evidence-informed leadership, and Magnet recognition efforts.As the NSA marks its 10-year anniversary, I am leading to reflect on its key milestones, strategic priorities, and long-term impact while looking ahead at the future of nursing within KP and beyond.
