The nursing community has a unique opportunity to inform the public and policy makers of the vital role nurse practitioners play in advancing health access, equity, and quality care. Recently, Becker’s Hospital Review published a notice stating about 15 physicians at Edward Elmhurst Hospital were to be terminated and replaced by nurse practitioners. The implications made in response from local physician groups were that nurse practitioners are viewed as mid-level providers, and this practice could put patients in danger.In response, in December 2019, nurses from Rush University College of Nursing and Rush Health in Chicago submitted a Letter to the Editor to Becker’s Hospital Review, expressing dismay at the description of nurse practitioners as mid-level providers. The Nursing Economic$ Editorial Board believes all nurses have an ethical obligation to correct inaccurate descriptions of advanced practice colleagues, and in support of the nurses from Rush University and Rush Health, submitted a follow-up Letter to the Editor to Becker’s Hospital Review. Today’s discussion, led by Nursing Economic$ Editorial Board member Dr. Therese Fitzpatrick, focuses on the events at Edward Elmhurst Hospital as reported in Becker’s Hospital Review and elaborates on why advanced practice registered nurses and nurse practitioners must become informants to policy makers and the public. As the nursing profession around the world celebrates 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife, participants in this discussion share the profound impact nurse practitioners make in the health care arena, both nationally and globally.Lynne Braun, PhD, CNP, FAHA, FAANP, FPCNA, FAAN, is Professor Emerita at Rush University in the Department of Adult Health and Gerontological Nursing and a consultant in the Rush Heart Center for Women, where she was a nurse practitioner.

In honor of ANNA’s 50th anniversary, the Nephrology Nursing Journal began an oral history of ANNA, nephrology nursing, and the care of patients with kidney disease, interviewing past presidents of ANNA and other nephrology nurse leaders. These priceless recordings shine light on our rich history, the challenges our specialty practice has faced, and the advances we’ve made over the last 50 years.This series will also be of interest to nurses in many other specialties. While our focus is on nephrology, these interviews provide a time capsule of what nursing was like as a profession from the 1960s to the present, and on how a specialty organization can influence the lives of patients and nurses.We hope you enjoy these invaluable and enlightening nephrology nursing recollections.© American Nephrology Nurses AssociationAll rights reserved.
