In honor of Nurses Week, we are proud to present a round table discussion featuring key nurse leaders. This discussion, led by healthcare consultant and Nursing Economic$ Editorial Board member Rhonda Anderson, DNSc(h), MPA, BS, RN, FAAN, LFACHE, focuses on the founding and work of the Nurses on Boards Coalition. In addition to Dr. Anderson, participants include Laurie Benson, BSN; Kimberly Harper, MS, RN, FAAN; and Rita Wray, MBA, RN, BC, FAAN.
The Nurses on Boards Coalition represents national and state efforts by nurses and others working to build healthier communities in America. Their mission is to improve the health of communities and the nation through the service of nurses on boards and other governing bodies. The Nurses on Boards Coalition’s intent is to ensure that at least 10,000 board seats are held by nurses by 2020, as well as raise awareness that all boards will benefit from the unique perspective of nurses to achieve the goals of improved health and efficient and effective health care systems at the local, state and national levels.
Through today’s episode, you will learn about how the coalition came to be, why it is important for nurses to serve on boards, examples of various types of boards where nurses serve, the impact of nurses on boards and how you can get involved.
