Two committees exist within the Commission, and both rely on committed volunteers. All members must have experience in adult education. They also meet quarterly as a group. Members act as consultants in the planning of programs, evaluate adherence with ANCC and VNA standards, and award contact hours for VNA educational activities.
Members receive applications in the mail for independent review, and meet quarterly as a group.
Thank you for your interest in nursing and nursing education in Virginia. The Commission is made up of a Nursing Research Committee and Practice Councils, i.e. Community Health, Psychiatric Nurses, Gerontological Nurses, and Nurse Practitioners. The Practice Councils provide the opportunity for specialty groups to function within their scope of practice. The VNA Professional Nursing Commission maintains communications as appropriate and assists with the promotion of increased understanding health care and nursing practice in Virginia. The Commission on Resources and Policies maintains organizational operation and efficiency by providing the maximum service to members through the work of four committees.
