ANS Features Continuing Education “Opportunities in each Issue!

Each issue of ANS provides an article that is available for Professional Development (Continuing Education) credits! The current “continuing education” article is particularly timely, given the discord that many communities are facing because of political and social controversies realted to health equity. But regardless of these current circumstances, as nurses and healthcare providers, we have a professional mandate to assure that all people have the health care they need. In the January-March 2025 issue, the continuing education article is titled “From Subversion to Hard-Wiring Equity: A Discourse Analysis of Nurses’ Equity-Promoting Practices in Emergency Departments” authored by Allie Slemon, PhD, RN; Vicky Bungay, PhD, RN; Colleen Varcoe, PhD, RN; Amélie Blanchet Garneau, PhD, RN. In this article the authors exam the structures in emergency departments that constrain equity, and actions that nurses engage in equity-promoting practices despite these constraints, and examine ways to support nurses in promoting equity in these contexts. The continuing education test for this article, and other “CE” articles can be found on the Nursing Center “CE Connection”

This is an important article for all nurses – whether you are interested in continuing education credit or not! Visit the ANS website today to explore more about this issue, and the continuing education opportunities offered in the journal.
