The ND Center for Nursing President, Dr. Beth Sanford, and President-elect, Dr. Penny Briese, were on an hour-long conference call with the ANA and representatives from state nursing associations and centers for nursing from across the nation, discussing the implications of the Department of Education's proposed rule for "professional" and "graduate" degrees that omitted nursing from the list.
