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.

Take Action and Support the Office of the National Nurse Initiative
The NNNO Board of Directors has heard from dozens of nurses and nursing students who have asked for materials that they can use to educate others about the ONN initiative.
Thanks to graduating nursing students Christopher Deal, Lisseth Ortega, and Coral Sohn for designing the pictured tri-fold pamphlet about the Office of the National Nurse initiative. Click on each side to enlarge and read it. Please email teri@nationalnurse.info and we will email this to you in a word document that you can reproduce and distribute to others.
