Each member of the team comes with differing expectations and assumptions about teamwork that is based on previous learning, experiences and professional expectations. Nursing is about relationships and the quality of those relationships is vital to everyday interactions and positive outcomes for patient/client care and role satisfaction. Nurses function as social beings whether we are in virtual or face-to face teams. There is a pressing need for nurses to be skilled teammates and team leaders.
