Abstract
The article reflects on the importance of leadership and empowerment in Latin American nursing as a collective body responsible for participating in and making public health and health worker policies. For this, it spotlights the contribution that nursing, as a discipline based on research and theory, makes to knowledge, which relies upon the evidence of care in the health-disease process of individuals, families, and groups. It also posits the region’s nurse shortage issue, the unequal recognition of nursing as a human care profession, and the need for action and prominence to face the challenge of redefining it.
