The feasibility of a visiting professorship to introduce innovation into nursing education
In recent years, national nursing organizations identified the need for innovation as a competency for nursing's future (American Nurses Association, n.d.). As a profession, nursing must acknowledge that students need to be educated on innovation to increase the potential for systematic and sustainable innovations to address prevalent unmet healthcare needs.

The relationships between the healthy nurse, Healthy Nation program, RN perceptions of their work system, and health-related quality of life
With 4.4 million nurses in the United States, nurses represent the backbone of the American health care system. It is imperative that nurses remain healthy, both to enhance their own quality of life and to provide the best care to their patients (Blake& Lee, 2007; Carlson& Warne, 2007; Esposito& Fitzpatrick, 2011; Frank et al., 2003). Unfortunately, nurse physical and mental health is often not optimal, and conditions such as burnout, depression, anxiety, fatigue, infection, and injury plague the nursing community (Cheung& Yip, 2015; Fronteira& Ferrinho, 2011; Gould et al., 2019; Letvak et al., 2012; Wu et al., 2022).

Disability research must be a priority for nurses to advance health equity
Disability results from an interplay between health conditions and environmental and personal factors. People with disabilities face substantial and ongoing health inequities; however, research to mitigate these inequalities is lacking. There is an urgent need for a better understanding of the multilevel factors that influence health outcomes in people with visible and invisible disabilities across all the lenses of the National Institute of Nursing Research strategic plan. Disability research must be a priority of nurses and the National Institute of Nursing Research to advance health equity for all. (Source: Nursing Outlook)
