Finding structures and methods, such as CB, that offer nurses the possibility of control over practice has never been more crucial to the survival of professional nursing than in the current patient care environment, which is in the midst of an acute nursing shortage crisis (Goodin, 2003; McClure, Poulin, Sovie, & Wandelt, 2002). Traditional CB has been used by constituent states of the American Nurses Association (ANA) for the past half-century, particularly during nursing shortages. Resolution of the present shortage, however, may require using both traditional and newer, non-traditional CB strategies to promote control over practice and improve the patient care environment.
