Nurse Impact: A Story from Sydney Briggs About a Nurse Who Made All The Difference

The Tennessee Center for Nursing Advancement's mission is to address nursing shortages and healthcare challenges in our communities by bridging academic programs, clinical practice, and local school systems. We aspire to be the premier hub for advancing nursing science, empowering nurses and nursing students, and nurturing healthy communities throughout Tennessee. Our commitment to nursing education, research, and community health initiatives ensures we meet the evolving needs of our healthcare landscape.

Central to our efforts are four key areas of focus: expanding the nursing pipeline, fostering collaboration and innovation through data analytics, enhancing nurse well-being and advocacy, and utilizing data to inform practice. By concentrating on these areas, we aim to attract and retain talented nursing professionals, support effective educational programs, advocate for improved nurse well-being, and provide real-time data analysis to enhance decision-making in healthcare settings.
