Happy New Year! Welcome to 2020, the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife, as designated by the World Health Organization. It is so designated to commemorate the 200th birth of Florence Nightingale. It is interesting to note that Nightingale advocated for improved nutrition, exercise, sanitation and clean air (several social determinants of health) to improve the health of persons under her care, which is taking an increasingly important role in present day nursing care.

|
|
Did you miss the deadline to apply for the 2019 Distinguished Educator in Gerontological Nursing? Were you thinking about applying and decided against it? Don't fret! Applications to apply will be available in Spring of 2020

Purpose:
Given the rapidly growing older adult population and the urgent
need to prepare the future nurse workforce to care for an aging population,
it is imperative to have well prepared nurse educators not only with knowledge and skills in care of older adults, but also with teaching competence so that they can foster positive attitudes toward older adults and actively engage learners at all levels.
The Distinguished Educator in Gerontological Nursing Program (the Program) is a Hartford initiative that aims to recognize the leadership of nurse educators working with students, faculty, providers, and older people in diverse settings.
