Bridging the generational gap isn't about winning an argument - it's about translating different perspectives. From Boomers to Gen Z, conflict usually stems from differing life experiences and communication styles rather than bad intentions. Join the webinar on Navigating Conflict Across Generations.

Deepened saddened by the loss to nursing community! She was recognized as one of the most influential nurse scientists and theorists in nursing. 🙏🏽

The American Nurses Association (ANA) is deeply saddened by the passing of Jacqueline M. Fawcett, PhD, RN, FAAN, a towering figure in nursing scholarship and one of the most consequential voices in the intellectual history of our profession. Over a career spanning more than 45 years, Dr. Fawcett dedicated herself to advancing nursing as a discipline grounded in its own theory, knowledge, and science.

Dr. Fawcett also gave generously to the profession through service, including her leadership on the ANA-Maine board of directors from 2023 to 2025.

"Dr. Fawcett was one of nursing's most important scholars, and her loss is felt deeply across our entire community," said ANA President Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, PhD, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN. "She dedicated her life to building the intellectual foundations of our profession, and the contributions she made to nursing will endure for generations. Her work challenged all of us to think more ambitiously about what nursing is and what it can be. Dr. Fawcett’s work was instrumental to my own nursing education, and I am deeply grateful for the way she informed who I am today.”

ANA extends its deepest condolences to Dr. Fawcett's family, her colleagues, and the many nurses and scholars whose lives and careers she shaped.
