NJCCN Researchers Edna Cadmus, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN; Pamela B. de Cordova, PhD, RN-BC; Susan Weaver, PhD, RN, CRNI, NEA-BC, and Arun Ravichandran, MS published their research on the role of APNs in addressing access to care in the Journal of Nursing Regulation. “Access to Care in New Jersey: Making the Case for Modernizing Legislation” is available at https://www.journalofnursingregulation.com/
Governor Murphy has issued an executive order suspending certain restrictions on the scope of practice for APNs and PAs during the state of emergency and public health emergency declared on March 9, 2020. Under these emergency orders, APNs and PAs temporarily will be able to practice with greater autonomy, including independent authority to prescribe controlled dangerous substances (CDS) when appropriate.
The first State of the World’s Nursing 2020 report has been released. It includes information on education, jobs, and leadership related to the nursing field. As well, it details ways in which countries around the world can invest and create new jobs in nursing by the year 2030.
We are excited to announce an in-person conference is rescheduled for June 9-11, 2021 at the same location, Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District. More information will be available in the coming months.

The New Jersey Collaborating Center for Nursing (NJCCN) located at the Rutgers School of Nursing is pleased to be the recipient of the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) Growing Apprenticeship in Non-Traditional Sectors (GAINS) Grant. The implementation of new nurse residencies was recommended by the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) 2011 report, The Future of Nursing, Leading Change Advancing Health. Through the GAINS Grant, NJCCN will receive $500,000 to support 15 of 19 hospitals implementing the Vizient/AACN acute care nurse residency program over the next year. Transition into practice programs are key to recruitment and retention of new nurse graduates as they launch their careers.
Dr. Edna Cadmus, Executive Director of NJCCN and Clinical Professor at Rutgers School of Nursing said, “This grant will allow us to standardize an approach for nurse residency programs in New Jersey, partnering with NJDOL, the Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program, and acute care hospitals across New Jersey.” Academic and practice partnerships are needed in an evolving healthcare environment.
At NJCCN, we are excited about this opportunity to support transition to practice across New Jersey.
