2017 is off and running for ANA-Michigan! We’ve got our sleeves rolled up and are ready to work for our members. There have been many recent changes affecting nursing in our state and association that will guide our work in the coming months and I’m excited to share some of them with you here. Our voice is present in ever-widening circles of nursing influence and beyond – and it’s about time!

One of the most important goals we‘ve accomplished is to help modernize our Administrative Rules for Nursing. Our association

worked closely with the Board of Nursing and

Linda Taft, RN

other nursing groups during this process to provide timely, constructive input and comment on the proposed changes. This had been a journey of more than 10 years by the Board to reorganize content, recognize the role of the CNS, define advanced practice nursing and, more recently, set guidelines for education on human trafficking. The new Rules became effective on January 9, 2017 and can be reviewed at: http://w3.lara.state.mi.us/orr/Files/AdminCode/1600_2015-091LR_AdminCode.pdf

Another victory for Nursing was the passage of PA 499 which defines advanced practice nursing, expands the role and responsibilities of NP’s and CNM’s, recognizes the role of the CNS (and gives

them a seat on the Board of Nursing), and enables these APRN’s to prescribe and treat their patients to the fullest extent of their education, licensure and certification in Michigan. I was honored to represent ANA-Michigan at Governor Snyder’s ceremonial signing of the legislation in January, along with representatives of the APRN groups, the bill sponsors and our legislative lobbyist. Nursing licensure fees were also restructured with the legislation, reflecting the increased administrative costs of licensure within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (DLARA). PA 499 becomes effective in April 2017 but will also necessitate reopening of the Administrative Rules for Nursing in 2017 to incorporate the changes relating the recognition of CNS’s and other minor changes.

At the end of January, we also participated with the Michigan Nursing Students Association (MNSA) Annual Conference at the Kensington Hotel in Ann Arbor. We have worked diligently to enhance our relationship with the student nurses by providing mentoring services and by encouraging their members to connect with ANA’s student subscriber, transition to practice and Welcome to the Profession resources. Students visiting our vendor booth had a chance to win one of 2 sets of ANA’s Nursing Standards and Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics for Nurses (along with a Starbucks gift card!) and we were quite popular!

That’s a quick look at where we’ve been so far this year. Now let’s look to the future! At the February 3rd board meeting, the ANA-Michigan Board of Directors convened a Governance Task Force to look at the structure and function of our association; with special attention to councils, committees and regions to evaluate how we best serve our members. Many associations and trade groups are seeking the best methods to satisfy the gathering needs of members in balance with the work that needs to be done in the most efficient

President’s Message continued from page 1 and effective yet nimble way. As we have reached our 10th anniversary of existence, it is a great time to evaluate our association in this same way. The task force will complete its assessment and make recommendations to the board at the May 5th board meeting. Additionally, our Bylaws Committee will be working hard to complete suggested Bylaws changes requested by ANA for compliance with ANA Bylaws among other considerations.

ANA-Michigan is co-sponsoring an Advocacy Day with MONE in Lansing on March 14 & 15. In co-sponsoring this event, we increase our visibility with the legislature and are able to help shape important health policy in our role as advocates. Educational sessions on advocacy, updates from key legislators and visits to our state senators and representatives are planned. More details are included in this publication - please make plans to join us!

In June, ANA-Michigan’s representatives will participate in the ANA Membership Assembly in Washington, DC, along with the Day of Advocacy on the Hill. Bylaws and Reference proposals will be decided and it’s an important opportunity for us to gather with other Constituent/State Nursing Associations to discuss national and regional issues affecting nursing and healthcare. With today’s political climate, it is particularly important for ANA-Michigan to utilize this opportunity to collaborate, strategize and form relationships that enhance our understanding and influence.

As you can see, we have a busy year ahead! We’ll be working hard for our members and encourage you to stay in touch too. Attend meetings in your Region, read our online and print communications and explore the changes coming to our ANA-Michigan website including Members Only content and our soon-to-be launched Legislative Action Center. And don’t forget to mark your calendar for our 2017 Conference and Annual Meeting at The Inn at St. John’s, Plymouth, MI on October 26 & 27. Conference planning is underway and we’re excited to bring you more information in the coming months.

Northern Michigan—Region 2Region 2 will be meeting on Thursday, March

9, 2017 from 6:00 - 7:30 PM with a presentation from “Sharing Investigative Educational Projects” presented by James Fischer, RN, PhD and Rhonda Howard, MSN, RN. The meeting will be held at the Munson Community Health Center, Rooms A&B, 550 Munson Avenue, Traverse City. REMEC connection will be available.

The cost to attend this meeting is a $5 donation for pizza and salad. Register by emailing [email protected] or phone Jeanine at 231-947-0047.

sPriNgtiMe By the BAy iN trAverse cityIt’s time to register for the 2nd annual “Clinical

Ethics Conference: Approaching Clinical Ethics with Courage and Confidence” being held in Traverse City on Saturday, April 29. Region 2 of ANA-MI is again a co-sponsor with Munson Medical Center’s Ethics Committee. Last year’s multi-disciplinary conference was extremely well received, so we’ve booked a larger space at the Hagerty Center and found speakers to address interests and needs which were identified in last year’s program evaluations.

Topics will include “Ethical Dilemmas in Resource Allocation,” “Relational Skills as a Moral Duty,” “Caring for the Caregiver,” “Navigating the Fear of Litigation,” “Ethics at the End of Life,” and “Beyond Diagnosis and Treatment.” Six AMA PRA Category one credits will be awarded to participants. The cost is $75 for ANA members and Munson employees and providers and does include lunch. The fee for all others is $125. To register visit www.munsonhealthcare.org/2017ethics.

Dr. Michael Collins, Medical Director of Grand Traverse County Health Department spoke to a group of 22 RNs on January 12, 2017 regarding the topic “Vaccination: A Second Look.” Dr. Collins began his lecture with a very politically correct comment on the surprise many voters experienced with the results of the presidential election. He made an analogy to vaccine believers, himself included, trying to educate the non-believers. Now he feels we must examine each argument the

“anti-vaxxers” present, do the real fact-checking and get better at listening to the opposition.

Looking at vaccination with a more open mind is difficult because: anti-vaccination literature is vast and much of it really is conspiracy-theory stuff and fodder for making money (selling books). To healthcare professionals and regulatory agencies, we’ve seen the evidence of herd immunity, but each parent sees it his/her responsibility to protect the child’s well-being. Whose advocate is the provider to be? Probably both the healthcare research and the child, per the speaker.

He went on to list several of the most-common anti-vaxxer arguments. I’ll highlight two of these. “The diseases that these vaccines may prevent are rare and not very serious,” say the anti-vaxxers. Research suggests that pneumococcus, rotavirus, and meningococcus are still very common, and others are one plane ride away in today’s world. With diminishing herd immunity in any part of the globe, measles, varicella, pertussis and mumps could easily become common again.

Another argument is “Vaccines overwhelm the immune system.” Research suggests that the adult immune system and that of most infants are well-equipped to deal with the antigen load in vaccines, and that the injected antigens are typically more tolerated than a person ingesting the same antigens through the respiratory or GI systems.

A couple of exceptions to current research results that Dr. Collins stated are the amount of aluminum adjuvant (ask for the vaccine with the least aluminum) in the vaccine and giving Hepatitis B to infants who don’t have risk until adolescence. Hepatitis B vaccine could be given later instead of when the infant is receiving many more vaccines.

2017: YEAR OF THE HEALTHY NURSEBalance your life for a healthier you.

In recognition of the impact that increased nurse health, safety, and wellness has on patient outcomes, quality of care, and overall nurse satisfaction and quality of life, American Nurses Association (ANA) has designated 2017 as the “year of the healthy Nurse” with the tagline of “Balance your life for a healthier you.” Each month will highlight various health, safety, and wellness topics important not only to nurses, but to their co-workers, families, patients, and the communities in which they live, work, and play. Nurses struggle with multiple health, safety, and wellness challenges. ANA’s 2016 Health Risk Appraisal shows alarming trends for registered nurses (RNs) and nursing students:•AnaverageBMIof27.6(overweight)• 12% have nodded off while driving in the past

month•Only16%eattherecommendeddailyamountof

fruits and vegetables•Less than half perform the recommended

quantity and time of muscle-strengthening exercises (ICG & ANA, 2016)

RNs continue to rate workplace stress as a hazardous occupational risk well above the

national average (ICG & ANA, 2016). Yet nurses’ very calling, professionalism, and strong sense of ethics demand that they become better role models, advocates, and educators.

2017 brings a focus on the Year of the Healthy Nurse, and will include the launch of the Healthy Nurse, Healthy NationTM Grand Challenge (HNHN GC) and the continuation of #FitNurseFriday. ANA’s HNHN GC is a sweeping social movement to increase the health of the United States’ 3.6 million RNs, thereby impacting and improving the health of the nation. HNHN GC focuses on five fundamental indicators of wellness: rest, nutrition, activity, quality of life, and safety. These five wellness indicators are incorporated into ANA’s Year of the Healthy Nurse topics to ensure RNs receive cohesive messaging and assistance on their journey toward their best health ever!

Michigan Nursing Students Association

ANA-Michigan was a bronze sponsor and exhibitor during the Michigan Nursing Students Association (MNSA) convention from January 27-28, 2017 in Ann Arbor. Several ANA-Michigan leaders were in attendance to represent the association.

Friday evening’s keynote presentation was Patch Adams, M.D. Dr. Adams is a physician who is the founder and director of Gesundheit Institute,

a free health facility in operation since 1971. His presentation centered around “The Joy of Caring,” is an inspirational talk about the thrill of helping others. Dr. Adams humor provided a lighter look at the way the health and humor are connected by providing personal anecdotes from his 30+ years as a street clown.

On Saturday, ANA-Michigan held two raffle drawings for the nursing students that included the latest edition of Code of Ethic for Nurses, Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice along with a Starbucks gift card.

Chicago – The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) has launched a new Transition to Practice (TTP) online e-learning program for newly licensed nurses. The program reviews and discusses important concepts integral to patient safety and critical thinking helping new graduates understand how to apply nursing knowledge, learn new skills and think critically as they transition from newly licensed nurses to confident professionals.

Based on NCSBN’s Transition to Practice multi-site, randomized and controlled study that found that transition programs increase new nurse competence, satisfaction and retention and decrease stress and self-reported errors, the program includes courses for both new graduate nurses and preceptors. Course content is evidence-based and highly interactive, aimed at strengthening core competencies.

“These courses are ideal for institutions with limited resources for onboarding new nurses and are an excellent guide for students during their capstone courses,” comments, Nancy Spector, PhD, RN, FAAN, director, NCSBN Regulatory Innovations and principal investigator of the Transition to Practice study.

The program’s five courses can be purchased, separately or as a package, through the NCSBN Learning Extension website (www.learningext.com). A separate course for preceptors is also available. All courses offer continuing education credits. Certificates will be available to print once a passing score is achieved.

The new graduate courses are:• Course1:Communication&Teamwork Provide safer and more effective care

through situational awareness and using positive workplace behaviors.
