Nurse suicide is a serious issue our profession is facing. Current research shows that nurses are at higher risk for suicide than the general population. ANA Enterprise, through its nurse wellness initiative, Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation (HNHN), will be examining how to best support nurses and provide suicide prevention resources.
We need your help! If you, your staff, or a specific C/SNA or IMD member have special expertise in suicide prevention or are/have conducted nurse suicide research, please contact Holly Carpenter at holly.carpenter@ana.org or 301-628-5105 to be included in a Nurse Suicide Prevention Review Committee. One nominee per C/SNA and IMD please. Deadline for consideration is December 31, 2019. Participation is voluntary and the review committee will work via teleconference and email. This committee will commence in Q1 2020 and is tentatively scheduled to conclude in July, 2020.
The purpose of the review committee will be to support the work of the Nurse Suicide Prevention Workgroup by:
Gathering and examining current nurse suicide research and effective suicide prevention strategies
