An Office of the National Nurse would:
- Elevate the Chief Nurse Officer (CNO) of the US Public Health Service to full time status within the Office of the Surgeon General to become the National Nurse to enhance prevention efforts in all communities.
- Complement the work of the US Surgeon General.
- Promote involvement in the Medical Reserve Corps to improve the health and safety of the community.
- Incorporate proven evidence-based public health education when delivering prevention.
HR 4903 was introduced into the 109th Congress. Please visit our Home Page to view the most up to date recommendations for establishing an Office of the National Nurse.

Thank You TAANA
Pictured left to right: NNNO Secretary Alisa Schneider MSN, RN; Edie Brous RN, BSN, MSN, MPH, JD; and NNNO President Teri Mills MS, RN, ANP, CNEThank you to Rosemary McCarthy, President of The American Association of Nurse Attorneys and the Board of Directors for inviting Teri Mills MS, RN, ANP, CNE and Alisa Schneider MSN, RN to keynote their 27th Annual Meeting and Conference held in Tampa, Florida on October 23-25, 2008. Presenting to this esteemed group of professionals was an honor, as TAANA announced their support of the initiative earlier this year.
Teri and Alisa’s presentation, “The Office of the National Nurse: Policy for a New Era of Prevention” introduced the initiative to nurse attorneys, nurse law school students, and legal nurse consultants. The group participated in discussion of the current evidence for the need for a nurse-led focus on prevention, the political process the National Nursing Network Organization has used to move the initiative, and the current obstacles the NNNO is facing in their work.
Pictured: Edie Brous, RN, BSN, MSN, MPH, JDCongratulations to Edie Brous RN, BSN, MSN, MPH, JD who was awarded the Outstanding Advocate Award, recognizing her outstanding legal advocacy. Edie was instrumental in passage of the New York State Assembly’s resolution urging Congress to enact legislation to create an Office of the National Nurse.
TAANA members enthusiastically offered their support at the state and local level and we look forward to continuing to work with the nurse attorneys on advancing the ONN proposal.
