Letter from the Editor
Happy 2017 , YNPs !
Every year , I eat too much and exercise too little during the holidays . And while I always have the best intentions to be healthier in the new year , I seem to fall short when I take on that challenge alone .
That ’ s why this year is special — the ANA has deemed this year The Year of the Healthy Nurse , so now I have support as I try to make 2017 my healthiest year yet !
I hope you ’ ll join the YNPs as we take part in the Healthy Nurse , Healthy Nation Grand Challenge . We have some great events planned for the rest of the year to coincide with the ANA health topics . This month ’ s step challenge has already been great — and it ’ s forced me to get up and get moving !
I look forward to hopefully meeting you this year and hearing about how healthy you have been in 2017 !
