Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™
Healthy Nurse, Healthy NationTM is inspiring nurses to use their skills as advocates, educators, and role models to improve the health of the nation. If 4 million registered nurses increased their wellness, and supported their families, co-workers, and communities to do the same; imagine what a healthier nation we would live in.
Through our united voice on policy issues, we support nurses to practice to their full potential – and improve health care for all.
