It\u2019s also a forum where nurses can network and collaborate with others who are transitioning to a new role, and\/or pursuing an advanced degree or certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and insights with nurses from across the country,\u201d Dr. Sebach says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics include such issues as leadership, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, mentorship and evaluating advanced degrees. For example, does an MBA offer nurses a more competitive edge than nurses with a master\u2019s degree in public health? Is there value in nurse leaders earning a DNP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Sebach\u2019s position as manager of the community also raises the profile of WilmU among nurses. The ANA represents the interests of the nation&#8217;s 3.6 million registered nurses and advances the profession by fostering high standards of practice, promoting a safe and ethical work environment, bolstering the health and wellness of nurses, and advocating on health care issues that affect nurses and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since he began managing the community in December, Up &amp; Comers has grown to 1,300 registered users and continues to expand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Aaron M.
