A passage from Nurses’ Work: Issues Across Time and Place • At the 1893 World’s Fair, Hopkins Nursing Superintendent Isabel Hampton identified alumnae associations as the grassroots base for nursing’s organizational master plan that would link schools into districts, districts into states, states into a national association, and national groups into a world federation of nursing. (D'Antonio, Baer, Rinker, Lynaugh, 2006, pp. 99)

  18. How ANA impacts my practice In my current practice as an Orthopedic RN, the ANA impacts me through various avenues. There are practice guidelines recommended by ANA that dictate the staffing requirements for an Ortho floor, safe practices in patient care and the training and education I receive through my organization. The Orthopedic Nurses’ Association assists and guides my practice as well. They also offer a certification to increase knowledge and improve my practice. Also thanks to the ANA’s push for continuing nurse education my organization encourages nurses to pursue their BSN, master’s and doctorate degrees. Through the tuition reimbursement program and the federal funding provided I am able to continue my education. Finally, the ANA’s encouragement and guidance for nursing research has provided me the opportunity to take part in nursing studies and also help to implement evidence based practices at my organization allowing our patients to be provided health care based on best practice.Annie Cordova

  19. How the ANA impacts my practice In my current practice as a progressive care RN on a cardiovascular unit, the ANA impacts me through their continuing education opportunities. I keep my PCCN up to date with the CEU’s they offer. I know my skills and knowledge are rooted from evidence based practice. This allows me to properly educate my patients or coworkers and have supportive evidence to prove this point. This also encourages me to ask “why”, and opens doors for suggestions in ways I could change my practice on my unit. The ANA is working to keep me safe in ways I don’t always think about every day, but recognize these changes have been put in place for a reason. They educate member about the importance of proper lifting techniques to protect our backs. Every year within my organization, I have to review proper ergonomic skills and body mechanics to keep me and my patients safe. The ANA proposes guidelines for safe staffing levels. Our unit follows a grid for staffing, but the organization realizes that some shifts may need to make adjustments for the safety of our staff and the patients we care for. They encourage ways to make charting clear and accurate. The ANA also supports a collaborative work environment and appropriate delegation to unlicensed staff. As nurses, we cannot properly function without a supportive structure surrounding us. We work together to provided higher quality, safer care, with improved outcomes. Rebecca Anchors

  20. How the ANA impacts my Practice • In my current practice I’m a Hematology/Oncology RN on a telemetry unit and the ANA reflect a lot of policy and procedure on my unit. In 1979, the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), in collaboration with ANA, published Outcome Standards for Cancer Nursing Practice. The ONC also has a certification that is available for Nurses that have at least 12mths experience with in 36mths and 10CEU in Oncology nursing ("Oncology nursing certication," ) • The ANA also helps nursing with professional standards, nursing staff guidelines, leadership, improving practice and further our education. The ANA has helped us and will counting to helping nursing to strive for the best patient care and high education. Amy Johnson RN
