American Academy of Nursing Nominates New Fellows
The American Academy of Nursing has nominated 73 new fellows for induction this year. The 2002 nominees represent a variety of disciplines within the field of nursing. One of the criterion for Academy membership is recognition by one's peers of having made outstanding contributions to nursing over and above those which are required in one's position of employment. Each nominee also must be sponsored for membership by two Academy fellows. This year's slate of nominees of exceptional nursing leaders are educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, and association executives.
The new fellows will be formally inducted into the American Academy of Nursing on Saturday, November 2, 2002, during the Academy's 29th Annual Meeting and Conference at The Registry Resort in Naples, Florida.
The American Academy of Nursing was established in 1973 to provide visionary leadership to the nursing profession the public in shaping future health care policy and practice and optimizes the well-being of the American people through the synthesis of scientific and philosophical knowledge as the basis for effective health care policy and practice. There are currently some 1400 fellows in the Academy.
