In this episode of Culture Change RX, Sue Tetzlaff welcomes Theresa Hollinger, Chief Nursing Officer at Grant Regional Health Center, to discuss how Grant has sustained nursing excellence through intentional refinement of its “nursing bundle.”

Although the Nursing Bundle has been embedded in Grant's culture for years, Theresa explains why her team recently chose to pause, reassess, and strengthen their approach following a couple patient safety events. Rather than abandoning what was already working, they used the opportunity to clarify expectations, reduce variation, strengthen communication, and engage frontline staff in raising the standard even higher.

This conversation offers practical insights for nurse leaders who want to build - not just launch - sustainable nursing excellence.
