clinical expertise (for a student)
critical thinking- -problem identification and sometimes problem solving
emotional intelligence
thinking outside the box
ability to inspire other students and registered staff
internal motivation
naturally assume a role and dont impose themselves on the group, not thinking  about themselves only but about the wider group
self awareness knows own strengths and limitations
taking responsibility (when given)
skills to find solutions even when they dont have the knowledge

Junior Nursing Leadership - What does this mean?

# data[].attributes.body
Considerations:
- Good question!!!
- From novice to expert; knowledge needs to develop to give confidence and skills
- Discussions around whether this is innate or whether this can be nurtured and learnt
- Traits and chcracteristics need to be considered e.g. intergrity, ethics, trust and respect
- To be caring towards others; to have indvidual and shared visions
- Perceptions of leadership - who identifies leaders; do people in different positions identify different individuals as leaders

Modes of Support:
- Role modelling; being inspired
- Support from Universities and practice in identifying opportunities
- Organisational environment and structure
- Prioritising time and opportunities to lead
- Identifying role models and inspirational leaders
- Empowerment
- Supportive mentorship; motivation, working alongside mentors who are passionate about their role
- Being identified as 'leaderly' or having 'leadingship skills' when one cannot see them
- Nurturing motivation to lead

Challenges:
- Differences in training; what is valued amongst different generations of nurses and different programmes; what messages are given to students?
- Negativity - how this might be ´leaked´onto students
- Student socialisation into nursing context, Higher Education and practice contexts

Joan: we are moving to this question now
Suggestion if there is a leadership project required of the student in the curriculum that the practice area is required to support it means the student in coming forward with solutions to a real life problem must be supported to implement the solution "safely" TRUST between mentor-student-educator is central
to make a difference junior nurse leaders need to be able to adapt to the clinical practice situation

Summary: answer YES
How?
important for junior leader to understand the situation and have the knowledge required to give an opinion or be part of the decision making process
Junior nurse leader can make a difference through critical thinking (but it must be in a safe environment)..... to speak up the junior leader needs to develop courage sometimes in a system that cannot provide a safe environment all of the time
Working constantly to create a safe environment is everyone´'s responsibility as if it is absent it can crush as student
giving and responding to negative feedback that is given in a constructive way and given with time spent with the student and mentor can support the student to adjust and adapt. individual clinical support to achieve competencies

Following conditions favourable to make the changesupportive practice area
trusting relationship with mentor
school and curriculum require a leadership project as part of hte course that the practice area must support
engagement with the process of learning by the mentor and student
evaluation/assessment is important but not as important as developing the skill to give competent care
good links between the school staff and the practice area... this can make the difference!! : )
