Election as a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing is one of the highest honors a nurse can receive. Inductees join a thriving community of fellows who are nursing leaders in education, management, practice and research recognized for their outstanding impact on health and health care. Fellows engage nurses within and beyond the academy to transform the U.S. healthcare system.
