For millions of people worldwide, nurses are the difference between life and death, self-sufficiency and dependency, hope and despair. So, now you know why someone has created this site.
The nursing shortage has claimed countless lives and threatens to overwhelm the world’s health systems. It is no exaggeration to say that the future depends on a better understanding of nursing. At this site you will find the information you need. The Center for Nursing Advocacy seeks to increase public understanding of the central, front-line role nurses play in modern health care. The focus of the Center is to promote more accurate, balanced and frequent media portrayals of nurses and increase the media’s use of nurses as expert sources. The Center’s ultimate goal is to foster growth in the size and diversity of the nursing profession at a time of critical shortage, strengthen nursing practice, teaching and research, and improve the health care system.
