When I was in high school, my guidance counselor never even whispered the word nurse, much less explain to me the incredible potential that lies within the nursing profession. The number of men within the nursing profession has not grown much over the past few decades. The highest estimates currently are at approximately 12%. Men are #untappedpotential and could ameliorate the abysmal numbers of unfilled positions which are estimated to grow over the next decade. When I say male nurse, I am not picturing a white male nurse. I picture men of all ethnicities and backgrounds, which bring their own flavor and cultures to the profession. When the nursing team mirrors the populations that are being served, patient outcomes are improved. We need to do a better job at recruiting males into the profession. It was the absolute best professional decision I made. Join me in my friend and colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Williams, as we discuss this important topic on the Texas Nurses Association webcast, #NurseTalks, this Thursday! #MenInNursing #AAMN Also, consider joining the American Association for Men in Nursing if you are an RN who identifies as male or advocate for men in nursing.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT SIGNS OF HEART DISEASE AND CARDIAC ARREST This month has several important things happening that we, as nurses and an organization, can help with. The one I will focus on this year is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. We know that men are at a higher risk of coronary artery disease and heart attacks. We also know that men are traditionally very bad when it comes to seeking out preventative care, as well as emergency care. As nurses, we really need to help in educating the public, especially men in our communities, about the risk factors, signs and symptoms of a heart attack or coronary artery disease to help prevent cardiac arrest. We know that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the gold standard in treatment. We also know that the faster a person has an intervention, the better the prognosis. Now, we need the public to understand the signs and symptoms so that they seek treatment early. This year's AAMN Conference will be held Oct. 17-19 in St. Louis. Registration for the conference is still open. There will be several things happening at the conference you won’t want to miss, including an opportunity to help move the organization forward through bylaws revisions. These bylaws will help shape the future direction of the organization as well as modernize the organization to better align to what is happening within other organizations. There will be an online broadcast of the annual business meeting and bylaws vote at 5 pm Eastern on Oct. 18. We need your voice to be heard so that we can meet the needs of all our members while moving the mission of the organization forward. Please make plans to attend, either in person or virtually. Plans are already moving forward for next year. We have the location secured, which will be announced at the conference, along with the conference theme. Next year marks the 50th annual conference, so please begin making plans to attend. I have every confidence it will be a great conference based on the work of our outstanding Conference Planning Committee.  #HeartHealth #NursingLeadership #AAMN #HealthcareAdvocacy #CardiacArrestAwareness #NursingCommunity, Jason Mott PhD, RN, Aaron D.
