The American Organization of Nurse Executives and Global Citizenship

Abstract

Globalization is impacting many aspects of American society, and nursing has especially been impacted over the past few decades. Global issues such as nurse migration, pandemic infections, natural disasters, man-made disasters, and geopolitical unrest have made it clear that no nation can remain isolated and unaffected by world events and trends. With these facts, the American Organization of Nurse Executives' (AONE) leaders and members increasingly understand that leaders along with their communities and health care organizations work in all arenas, from local to national and international.
