Abstract

The Future of Nursing (FON) 2020-2030 will be an important roadmap for advancing the profession of nursing. The final FON document is meant to address nursing as a whole—not specific specialties—as well as address changes needed in the entire healthcare system that would facilitate patient safety and care. To ensure inclusion of the needs of school-age children and nurses employed outside the traditional hospital setting in the proceedings, the NASN offered comments at the first public meeting of the Committee on the Future of Nursing in March 2019 (Figure 1) and followed the other town hall meetings carefully. NASN submitted the following observations and suggestions in the form of a memo to the FON 2020-2030 Committee for consideration in the final report.
