Educators
ANA recognizes that you hold the key to the nursing profession and the healthcare of this nation in your hands!! ANA wants to help you do your work in educating the future of the profession.
ANA has developed a number of different products that can be used in the classroom to discuss ANA and the importance of association.
Through interviews with current ANA members, student nurses who are joining ANA, narrative sections and compelling "on-the-job" footage, the seven minute ANA member recruitment video explains the tangible and meaningful benefits of ANA membership.

Teaching IOM: Implications of the IOM Reports for Nursing Education
Anita Finkelman, MSN, RN and Carole Kenner, DNS, RNC, FAAN
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine began publishing a series of technical reports on quality and health care that made an enormous and lasting influence on the healthcare sector with regard to improved patient safety, higher quality of care, and reduced errors.
Teaching IOM synthesizes twelve of these reports. It focuses on nursing education strategies and the core competencies derived from these reports and documentation and how to use the reports in the classroom. The companion CD-ROM provides additional material for incorporating IOM reports content into curricula and teaching-learning experiences, a sample exam of the critical elements of this content, and an extensive reference and reading list to complement the one in the book.
