UWM professor of nursing Jane Leske was inducted into the American Academy of Nursing 2015 Class of New Fellows. The American Academy of Nursing selected 163 nurse leaders to be inducted during its annual policy conference in October in Washington, D.C.
“We are pleased to welcome this talented class of clinicians, researchers, policy leaders, educators and executives as they join the nation’s thought leaders in nursing and health care,” said Academy President Diana J. Mason. “We look forward to working with them to continue the academy’s work in transforming health policy and practice through the use of our collective nursing knowledge.”
The academy consists of more than 2,300 nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy and research. Academy fellows include hospital and government administrators, college deans and renowned scientific researchers.
Fellow selection criteria include evidence of significant contributions to nursing and health care, and sponsorship by two current academy fellows.
