Webinar Summary
Nurses continue to experience challenges brought on by the pandemic, including staffing shortages, unhealthy work environments and a disparity in compensation practices. As AACN advocates for solutions to improve working conditions for our community, we want to hear directly how you are feeling, answer your questions and discuss what you are experiencing.
Come together for our quarterly check-in to discuss all things nursing. AACN’s new president, Amanda Bettencourt, and board director Alvin Jeffery will share insights on what they’re seeing in the world of progressive care and critical care nursing right now. Participants can join the conversation, ask questions and hear how AACN is advocating for nurses and healthy work environments.
