Episode Description: Charting a Path to Health Equity: The Future of Nursing 2020–2030

In this episode, we dive into the landmark report from the National Academy of Medicine, The Future of Nursing 2020–2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity. With the U.S. facing profound health disparities starkly exposed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, this overview explores the critical role that the nation's nearly 4 million nurses play in addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) to improve population outcomes.

We unpack the report's bold recommendations for the upcoming decade, including the urgent need to build a more diverse nursing workforce that accurately reflects the communities it serves. Listeners will learn about the critical importance of removing restrictive scope-of-practice barriers that currently prevent advanced practice registered nurses from working to the full extent of their education and training. We also discuss the need to redesign health care payment models to properly value and support nurses who provide team-based, holistic care.

Tune in to discover how transforming nursing education, empowering nurse leaders to drive change across all sectors, and fiercely protecting the physical, mental, and moral well-being of front-line nurses are essential steps toward building a fairer, healthier society for everyone.

The nursing journey is too demanding to walk alone. Whether you are navigating your first year or leading a veteran team, you deserve a resource that supports your wellness and your expertise.
