Abstract
Donnelly talks about the significance of Duncan Watts' theory to nursing practice. She contends that nurses everywhere, in every setting, have the ideas and the power to make significant change. Nurses can spread ideas on how to improve patient safety or patient satisfaction, how to educate future nurses more effectively, or how to redesign a room to enhance healing--the list endless. What changes are needed and to what degree is the environment ready to embark on change. Better yet, what changes are desperately needed and how can nurses prime the environment to accept change. In other words, the change process works from both ends; either assess that the environment is ready or tweak the environment to embrace the change.
