so we encourage students to share the resources widely . Feel free to reach out to the committee with suggestions . We look forward to hearing from you and are excited to share in this journey of shaping our futures on this planet with you .
Our professional identity as nurses can begin in nursing school through joining organizations such as ANHE that represent our values and contribute to the field of nursing . We are advocates for more than just the patients we see at bedside . We are promoters of the health and wellness of each person by addressing the need for integrating environmental conscious curriculum into every nursing program . We would like to invite you to consider starting your professional identity as a nurse while you are still a student by becoming an advocate for your future , healthier environments , and healthier people ! n
