The EnviRN Knowledge Network is the new one-stop-shop for nurses who are interested in ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH and it was just launched on February 14th! We launched on Valentine’s Day because it is a day in which we actively acknowledge our love. In this instance, we are acknowledging our love for nursing and our love for healthy environments. The American Nurses Association has just established an environmental health practice standard for all nurses - firmly placing environmental health in our professional domain.
EnviRN is not just a website - it is also an active learning environment in which we can interchangeably be both teacher and a learner. It is a site for gathering essential environmental health information from experts; connecting with nursing researchers, and creating your very own blog posts on an area of interest to you. You can check out the EnviRN calendar for conferences, webinars and other events. AND EnviRN makes it easy for you to both learn about hot environmental policies and jump right in with a letter to your congressman or senator. It’s a place to learn how to Green your hospitals, help your patients reduce their environmental health risks, or tell us about a raging policy debate in your city or state. It’s also the web home for the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments which allows any nurse to join our free monthly calls on environmental health and nursing education, practice, research and/or advocacy/policy.
Join today and add your profile and picture and start connecting with nurses around the country on environmental health.
You are also invited to sign-up for our EnviRN listserv - a fantastic resource for nurses and other healthcare professionals who are passionate about environmental health issues.
Every other week, we send you information about environmental health and healthcare issues: current research; policy initiatives; online resources; best environmental practices in healthcare; upcoming conferences and workshops; and ways you can take action to protect the health of your patients, families, and communities. (And we do solemnly swear to not spam you or clog your inbox!) Sign-up for the EnviRN listserv.
