Sad news for nurses. The Center of Nursing Advocacy is closing. This was a site dedicated to improving nursing image in the media. They often reviewed media stories across the globe, and analyzed how nurse-friendly they were. Their goal was to try and increase the global image of nursing.
The Center offered this explanation as to why they are closing:
It is important for you to know that this decision was a difficult one and was the result of thoughtful deliberation on the part of every Board member. The Center’s records were in disarray, the Center’s taxes had not been paid for years, serious matters had been hidden from the Board of Directors, and the Center was in legal crisis. Indeed, after considering all the options, we felt that we were legally required to dissolve the Center as a corporation.
EEK. That doesn’t sound good. Unfortunately that statement from a nursing organization makes us sound like a bunch of whiny, unorganized, harpies. Oh well.
I wish all involved in the Center of Nursing Advocacy good luck. You did a great job to promote nurse’s image. I will try and pick up some of the slack on this site.
