AAHFN’s Pearls of Practice: Stay informed on drugs of unproven value or potential harm in HFrEF. Following the 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guidelines for the Management of Heart Failure, avoid therapies lacking demonstrated benefit or associated with adverse outcomes. Prioritize evidence-based management to optimize patient care.

NURSING IS A PROFESSIONAL DEGREE: We Need Your Voice Now.

AAHFN stands united with the ANA and numerous nursing organizations to address a critical workforce issue. The Department of Education (DOE) is proposing to use outdated, 1960s-era definitions of "professional degrees" that could drastically cut federal loan limits for post-baccalaureate nursing students.

This proposed change threatens to exacerbate the nursing workforce shortage by making advanced education financially inaccessible, while graduate medical students remain eligible for double the loan amount.

Nurses are the backbone of healthcare. We urge the DOE to revise its definition to explicitly include nursing.

Add your name to the petition below and stand up for nurses’ education and the future of the workforce.

AAHFN calls to protect the future of nursing. Proposed federal loan cap changes could disproportionately hurt nursing students. This isn’t just a technical change, it’s a step backward for a profession that’s essential to our nation’s health.
