What is the QUAD Council?
A. It’s an informal, yet organized network comprised of national nursing associations concerned with practice, education, and research issues associated with public health nursing. Specifically, the QUAD Council membership is the presidents and presidents-elect of the APHA, PHN Section; the Association of State and Territorial Directors of Nursing; the Association of Community Health Nursing Educators; the American Nurses Association and Congress on Nursing Practice and Economics. This collaboration has resulted in national consensus around the major issues affecting the practice of public health nursing. Q. Why are the PHN Section business meetings held so early in the morning at the annual meeting? A. That happens to be the only time that we can schedule business meetings that do not conflict with the educational or plenary sessions at the annual meeting. This year, however, we hope to hold one in the evening for those of you who would like to attend but simply are not morning people
