For nearly 30 years, the American Nurses Association and the American Nurses Foundation have proudly supported this program that engages nurses leaders and scholars to help develop health policy at the federal level. 

TIME’S UP Healthcare, a new affiliate of TIME'S UP, aims to bring safety, equity, and dignity to our healthcare workplace. TIME’S UP Healthcare is supported by a range of partners including the American Nurses Association.

This tragic incident should serve as reminder to all nurses, other health care professionals, and administrators that we must be constantly vigilant at the patient and system level to prevent medical errors.

Congratulations to nurses for maintaining the #1 spot in Gallup's annual honesty and ethics poll for the 17th consecutive year!

ANA is deeply disappointed in the ruling of a federal district court in Texas v. Azar, that found that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional. 

Laura Leigh Ferrio will help the Foundation meet its mission to transform the nation’s health through the power of nursing. 

ANA is pleased that the report recommends broader scope-of-practice statutes for all health care providers, including advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), that allow them to practice to the top of their license and full skill set.
