Call for Members for ANA Scope and Standards of Practice Workgroups for Corrections,

ANA is convening separate workgroups to complete the review and revision of 3 specialty nursing scope and standards publications: corrections nursing, home health nursing, and informatics nursing. You are invited to nominate registered nurses and/or APRNs for any workgroup. ANA members are encouraged to submit their packet through their applicable state nurses association.



Each workgroup member is expected to meet at least monthly for a two-hour conference call, participate in additional small group telephone discussion sessions as needed, and possibly complete small writing assignments. The work effort includes significant thoughtful discussions and is projected to last from 12-18 months.



Please forward the completed nominations packet (nomination form, biodata form, and current resume) to me by 5 pm EDT on August 26, 2011. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me. Thank you.
