We do this with you through leadership, scholarship, networking and education.  We celebrate you, our community, nurses at the front line and all nurses working to improve patient care. We see you, we celebrate you today and every day!

Recommended Podcast

Here is a podcast episode of "Informatics in the Round" with Kevin B. Johnson MD, MS, FAAP, FACMI (Informatician-in-Chief, Vanderbilt University Medical Center) you might find of value. His podcast on June 21, 2020 focuses on the issues surrounding George Floyd and anti-black racism, and what we in informatics can do to combat this issue that's finally been thrust into the light where enough Americans can see it. He assembled a panel of thought experts, including panelist Dr. Patty Brennan RN, PhD, FAAN ( Director, National Library of Medicine)  one of the most visible and most influential biomedical informatics experts in the world. The WORLD! They are calling for action. The podcast can be found in here.

Best Wishes,
