That’s why the American Nurses Association’s (ANA) Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ Grand Challenge, a new initiative designed to transform the health of the nation by improving the health of America’s 3.6 million registered nurses, is so vitally important. ANA has identified eight overarching SPHM standards of care to help nurses, other health care workers, and health care facilities address these challenges. And ANA is addressing them by engaging nurses and the patients and communities they serve in the Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ Grand Challenge. Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ aims to do just that by providing nurses with resources to support them on their wellness journey. Through Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™, nurses will improve their health in five key areas: physical activity, rest, nutrition, quality of life, and safety.
