Needed for a more equitable, healthy future: nurse mentors. The AARP Center for Health Equity Through Nursing℠ continues the ongoing work by the Campaign for Action to build a corps of volunteer nurses who can help get nursing students to graduation and beyond. “Mentoring is going to get us to a more diverse and representative nursing workforce,” says a leader in the effort.
Professional nursing organizations need to coordinate with each other to address the social determinants of health and improve health equity for all. That’s the top recommendation in the Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report—and creating that shared agenda is the purpose of a May 10 webinar that includes representatives from the National Coalition of Ethnic Minority Nurse Associations, Council of Public Health Nursing Organizations, and the National League for Nursing.
Most hospitals and health organizations are 501(c)3s, meaning that many nurses are eligible for loan forgiveness – whether they know it or not. AARP and the Savi Student Loan Repayment Tool can help you take charge of student loan debt by providing a personalized assessment of repayment and forgiveness options
