A summit to be live-streamed December 1 will focus on ways to advance equity in health care workforce decisions and private-sector policies, including breaking down barriers to leadership roles for all. Panelists for “Building Equity in Nursing and Health Care Leadership” include speakers from sponsors AARP, the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, AHIP, The Leapfrog Group, UnitedHealth Group, and The Joint Commission.
In October, the American Academy for Nursing annual policy conference featured stirring talks from nurses telling how they found their voices and life work. Now the TED-like talks—featured in a recent Campaign for Action post—are online along with the audience Q&A. The talks were part of AAN’s Institute for Nursing Leadership in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Future of Nursing Scholarship Program and AARP.
Most hospitals and health organizations are 501c3's meaning that most nurses who work for a qualifying employer 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.
