  Breaking Barriers to Nurse Workforce Well-Being: Licensure and Employment Policy Reform to Combat Stigma

  DIALOGUE FORUM 

  Thursday May 23, 2024
  6 pm - 7:30 pm EST

  Share your insight and experience! 
  You have solutions - let's hear them!

  ANA uses Dialogue Forums at the national membership meeting the ANA Membership Assembly, to drive nursing policy and practice focuses for ANA.

  At the state level, we present the topics for the annual ANA dialogue forums so we can learn from you, and carry your voice to ANA. We hope that you can learn from your peers, expand your knowledge of issues, and share your creative, innovative, thoughts and wonderings.

  Please join us to discuss this year's topics!

  Topic 1: Mental Health Stigma in licensing, regulations, and employment
  

  Nurses have struggled with mental and emotional well-being due to the inherent obligations and stressors of their profession. Nurses encounter higher rates of mental health issues, substance abuse, and even suicide compared to the general population (Choflet et al., 2023).

  Tragically, the stigma surrounding seeking support perpetuates a culture of silence, where nurses suffer in solitude, fearing repercussions such as losing their license or enduring professional setbacks (Murthy, 2022). Because these realities have not been adequately addressed, they have resulted in a nursing workforce mental health crisis, which has been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. A fundamental shift in culture and a united organizational response are imperative to dismantle the systemic barriers obstructing personal and professional well-being.

  
  

  

  There will be no CNE credit for this event.

  Improving Care for the Veterans Population
  

  Thursday May 30, 2024
  6 pm - 7:30 pm EST

  The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in a significant increase in the veteran population, creating unique healthcare challenges and needs. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has faced strain in providing timely care, prompting Congress to pass the MISSION Act in 2018, allowing veterans to access healthcare services outside the VHA through the VA Community Care (VACC) program. While well-intentioned, the expansion of care into the community overlooks the specific healthcare needs of veterans, particularly in the context of the unique challenges arising from military service. ANA has historically supported increased access to care for veterans and, in response to the MISSION Act expansion, should reinvest efforts to ensure that United States veterans receive appropriate healthcare services. Veterans, with their distinct determinants of health and increased rates of mental health disorders and exposure-related illnesses, require healthcare providers, including Registered Nurses, to undergo specialized training and education for the detection and treatment of these challenges to improve healthcare outcomes. This policy proposal outlines recommendations for action to ensure that all healthcare providers are adequately prepared to provide the highest level of care to this specific patient population.

  Enhancing Ethical Practice Through the Voice of Nursing: 2025 Code of Ethics Revision

  The ANA's commitment to maintaining a Code of Ethics for Nurses is enshrined in its Certificate of Incorporation, which mandates the establishment and upkeep of ethical standards within the nursing profession. The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (the Code or Code) is subject to periodic updates, with revisions occurring approximately every ten years in accordance with ANA policy. The purpose of revising the Code is to uphold the longstanding tradition of nursing ethics rooted in relational values while addressing contemporary challenges. This Dialogue Forum provides an opportunity to learn about the evolution of the Code, the approach used to revise the document, and provide feedback on the proposed changes for the 2025 version.
