About us
Our academic specialty society, Nursing Economics, officially launched in May 2021, is still evolving. Our academically trained nurses and researchers analyze, create and promote nursing economics data to inform the nursing research community on healthcare policy and best practices in service delivery.
The individual members are encouraged to contribute relevant topics from their field of practice. The discussion enables a valuable exchange of know-how and experience among the participants. We can invite external experts to a meeting to deepen knowledge on a specific topic.
