Nurse-managed health centers are becoming more common, and thanks to recent healthcare trends they are likely to keep expanding the range of services they offer. Read this Exclusive Interview with Donna Torrisi, M.S.N., the Founding Director for the first Nurse-Managed Federally Qualified Health Center.

Talk to anyone who has been hospitalized or visited someone in the hospital and they will likely tell you about the nurses. The person who is most hands-on is usually the nurse, whose job includes acting as an advocate for patients and their family members. There is no degree program for caring, no certification for compassion, no increased pay grade for concern, no bonus for being helpful and considerate, but all of these things live within a good nurse.

The ways in which nurses were educated and practiced during the 20th century are no longer adequate for dealing with the realities of health care in the 21st century. To handle increasing complexities of care and greater responsibilities, nurses will need more education and training. Learn why and find accredited online nursing degree programs that will position you to become a nursing leader.
