The leadership skills inherent in every professional staff nurse must be used and developed within the new health care arena for fiscal responsibility as well as professional satisfaction. Presented is one model used at our ambulatory surgical center. It is based on the premise of “shared responsibility” in which each person functions as a manager and a leader instead of one individual functioning to lead all who must be managed. Duties and responsibilities are divided among staff members, and each person has authority, responsibility, and accountability for specific tasks and functions with the ambulatory surgical center (ASC).

Vision loss with this disease occurs usually as a result of very slow damage to the macula, which is the consequence of low-grade chronic inflammation. A case study involving a young man with uveitis is used to demonstrate the importance of treating active inflammation aggressively rather than waiting for a particular level of degradation. The role of the professional nurse is highlighted because the support, care, and education of this patient appear to be major components to his well being.
