Kentucky Nurses Association Education Platform

In keeping with the Education Resolution passed at the KNA Convention 2008 by a vote of the KNA membership, the KNA Board of Directors resolves to pursue the following agenda as a primary platform issue.

The Kentucky Nurses Association expressly supports, and will work to advance, efforts to facilitate and encourage the educational mobility of nurses throughout the state of Kentucky and in all areas and levels of practice. 

Educational mobility does not include a mandate for advancement, but rather the development of programs (in education and financial aid) that make academic and professional advancement of nurses more accessible to all nurses.

As health care becomes increasingly complex and diverse, nurses must be in the forefront of healthcare delivery. This can only be achieved by nurses practicing at all levels and having the sufficient nursing faculty to sustain nursing's presence in the healthcare system.
