Social justice informatics: A critical approach for the future
Given the longstanding inequities clarified by the pandemic, the time has come for nursing informatics to adopt the goals of social justice and equity as its primary focus. Social justice informatics (SJI) is an emerging field that leverages the power of data, information, and technology in pursuit of advancing equity through collaboration with diverse communities. We propose that an SJI orientation should be adopted to change the paradigms of power by placing communities at the center of the work and ensuring future informatics work is free from unintended consequences.

Inclusive leadership to guide nursing's response to improving health equity
The vision laid out in the Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity (National Academy of Medicine [NAM], 2021) report made it clear that nurses must be at the forefront of changes designed to improve health equity. This vision builds on the Future of Nursing 2010-2020’s recommendations – addressing intersecting medical and social needs, providing community-based care t o marginalized populations, and providing high-quality care for everyone. Yet this time, the Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report even more explicitly reaches beyond the brick and mortar of hospitals and health systems. (Sou...

Advance Care Planning at Life Milestones
The American Academy of Nursing (AAN) has a 10 year history of endorsing advance care planning (ACP) discussions as an important way for individuals to make their preferences known to family and health care providers throughout their lives. ACP is an iterative process that supports adults at any age or stage of health to share their values, life goals, and preferences regarding future health care that is not limited to the end of life (Sudore et al., 2017). Engaging in ACP helps ensure that people receive the care they want, improves ongoing and end of life care and satisfaction with care, and may reduce unwanted treatm...

A 10-year examination of a one-on-one grant writing partnership for nursing pre- and post-doctoral trainees
The training and mentoring of pre- and post-doctoral trainees in academic nursing is essential to develop the next generation of nurse scientists prepared to launch independent research careers. An investment in the future of such trainees can reap long-term benefits for a school of nursing by feeding their own pipeline of future faculty members and growing their research capacity. Moreover, a fundamental aspect of the nursing role is ensuring that all patients have an equal opportunity for health and well-being; consequently, investing in the development of nurse scientists is necessary to achieving health equity in the U...

Value-informed nursing practice is needed to make our healthcare systems more environmentally sustainable
In this 3rd part of our 6-part series on value-informed nursing practice —practice that focuses on both achieving desired patient outcomes and minimizing the use of costly resources to achieve these outcomes—we focus on the importance of nurses in improving environmental outcomes and reducing costly environmental waste. We also propose how nursing education needs to change to prepare the next generation of nurses to effectively address environmental problems through providing value-informed nursing practice.

How can the nursing profession help reduce sexual and gender minority related health disparities: Recommendations from the national nursing LGBTQ health summit
Health disparities are defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as “preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to reach your best health” that are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008). Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) are recognized by the National Inst itutes of Health (NIH) as a health disparities population. Research reviewed in consensus study reports from the Institute of Medicine (now, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (Institute of Medicine, 2011; Natio...

Assessing postgraduate outcomes of research-intensive nursing science PhD programs: Methods and metrics
Assessing postgraduation or alumni outcomes is an important component of academic program evaluation and is a systematic, deliberate process of information gathering to identify programmatic strengths and weaknesses that inform future program adaptations (Frye& Hemmer, 2012; Volkwein, 2010). A fundamental goal of assessing postgraduate outcomes is to determine the career readiness of graduates. Research-intensive nursing doctoral programs have undergone expansion, innovation and incorporated new program models, such as early admission into PhD programs (i.e., w hile students are still in baccalaureate programs) and acce...

Affirming Nurses' value
The experience of the pandemic has again brought to the fore many of the long-term concerns regarding nursing roles and value and has laid bare their impact on nurses. Recent progress on the delineation of nursing value has receded as the urgency of the pandemic reduced nurses to interchangeable task-completers agnostic to specialty knowledge from where nurses sense their professional value. The traumas of the pandemic have caused highly qualified nurses to doubt their desire to be nurses and called into question their very purpose. (Source: Nursing Outlook)

Paradigm Shifts are Hard
“Don't underestimate the power of your vision to change the world. Whether that world is your office, your community, an industry, or a global movement, you need to have a core belief that what you contribute can fundamentally change the paradigm or way of thinking about problems.” Leroy Hoodmot tos.

To learn: The power of reflection
Reflection can take many forms —writing, journaling, taking a long walk, daydreaming, talking with friends or colleagues—and it can provide us with insights that bring clarity and wisdom. It can spur a new direction or lead to a resolution for change. Reflection can also bring forth a wide range of emotions. Unlike the other kind of reflection— where light, sound, heat, or an image is sent back and not absorbed— our reflections often bring with them strongly felt sentiments. As the American Academy of Nursing (Academy) launches this first year of a three-year, 50th Anniversary commemoration, our theme for 2022 is r...

Calling CANS nurse scientists to serve as NIH reviewers
A significant portion of nursing and biomedical research depends on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for funding, both directly and indirectly (Crotty et al., 2020). NIH funding decisions are made based on the peer review process, and the quality of peer review is a function of the availability of expert reviewers. According to NIH, expert reviewers are experienced investigators who: have substantial independent research experience; have received major peer-reviewed grants (R01 or equivalent); understand the importance of the review process; and are dedicated to high quality, fair review (National Institutes of Heal...
