Advancing Leadership and Building Friendships Through AAACN

There are also several ongoing initiatives within the organization that remain strategies under Goal #2. * The work group is moving closer to completing the RN Role Position Paper to support the RN Role Position Statement. * Our Health Care Reform Advisory Team is in place to advise us on issues of Health Care Reform.\n The report provides great opportunity for the nursing profession and allows registered nurses a place at the table to determine our future. * Lastly, First Lady Michelle Obama has mobilized all sectors of the community through a comprehensive national initiative, Joining Forces, that will give service members, veterans, and their families the support they so deserve, specifically in the areas of wellness, education, and employment. Today provides us with a tremendous opportunity to connect with others in similar roles, advance our practice and leadership skills, and advocate for our specialty of ambulatory care nursing.
