Teri Mills: Champion for America's Nurse
Who is the us surgeon General? Ask around and you're not likely to get the right answer. Ask about the Chief Nurse Officer, and you'll probably hear crickets. Teri Mills, RN, MS, CNE, wants to change that.
In 2005, the New York Times published an op-ed by a then-unknown nurse educator from Portland, Oregon, who pulled the emergency alarm on the nursing shortage and the deleterious impact it was having on the nation's health.

With that, the campaign for a National Nurse for Public Health (NNPH) has been gaining momentum—among | Sibyl Shalo Wilmont, RN, BSN, BA the grassroots and on Capitol Hill—ever since.
