"Selection
for membership in the Academy is one of the most prestigious honors in
the field of nursing," said Academy President Catherine L.
Gilliss, DNSc, RN, FAAN. "Academy Fellows are truly
experts. The Academy Fellowship represents the nation's top nurse
researchers, policymakers, scholars, executives, educators and
practitioners."
Selection criteria
include evidence of significant contributions to nursing and health care. Each
nominee must be sponsored by two current Academy Fellows. The new
Fellows are selected by a panel comprised of elected and appointed
Fellows, and selection is based, in part, on the extent to which
nominees' nursing careers influence health policies and health care
delivery for the benefit of all Americans. New Fellows will be
eligible to use the credentials FAAN (Fellow of the American Academy of
Nursing) after their October induction.
Please join us in
congratulating them for this prestigious honor.
