President's Message

I want to take this moment to express my gratitude to the Executive Board, the ACG Management Team, the Past Presidents and the ENRS membership. You all help to make this organization one that thrives. Your enthusiasm, commitment and support are greatly appreciated. Because of all of you, there is tremendous joy in the work we do together for ENRS.

CANS and ENRS

Did you know that ENRS is one of the seven partners of the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS)? The mission of CANS is Better Health Through Nursing Science. The Council works to:

• Be a strong voice for nurse scientists at the national and international levels;
• Support the development, conduct, and utilization of nursing science; and
• Facilitate life-long learning opportunities for nurse scientists.

The Council has several special interest groups including ones for clinical, new and mid-career scientists.  CANS is an entity of the American Academy of Nursing and in that capacity is a strong voice for nursing science at the national and international levels. If you are not a member, I encourage you to consider joining. Follow this link to the CANS site and its membership section: https://www.nursingscience.org/home
