Shared governance (SG) is vital to integrate evidence\u2010based practice findings into practice and empower frontline nurses through shared decision making. Research supports that SG fosters nurse engagement and satisfaction. This article outlines the first phase of a project aimed at improving council effectiveness, focusing on a current state analysis and development of a Nursing SG Toolkit (NSGT).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess the current state of nursing SG at a Veteran Affairs Medical Center and create a toolkit targeting identified gaps.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The project team utilized both quantitative and qualitative data. They distributed the Council Health Survey (CHS) to 20 of 31 active councils to assess council effectiveness through a five\u2010point Likert scale (higher score favorable). They followed with focused discussions. The team created the NSGT to address identified gaps and shared an early iteration with Nurse Practice Council before re\u2010distributing the \u201cMembership\u201d subscale of the CHS. The team disseminated a refined NSGT to all councils and administered the CHS 14\u2009months later to 23 of 31 active councils.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the current state analysis, the lowest subscale of the CHS was \u201cMembership\u201d (\n                      <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20092.82).
