Twelve Pakistani nursing leaders from the public and private sector were interviewed. The data revealed the concept of empowerment in five themes including status of a nurse, nursing profession, power relationships, value belief system and leadership and management. Dealing with challenges, adopting strategies, and achieving outcomes were also explored. However, this paper is going to focus empowerment in relation to educational context.
