Dr. Daniel J. Pesut, an Emeritus Professor of Nursing, Past Director of Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership, and Katherine R. and C. Walton Lillehei Chair in Nursing Leadership at the University of Minnesota, highlights the challenges confronting the nursing profession and how foresight will be instrumental in strengthening the profession, especially by heeding the “Future of Nursing Report” that encourages creating a culture of health, reducing health disparities, improving nursing education, allowing nurses to develop a full scope of practice and improving the health and well-being of the U.S. population and others worldwide. Dr. Pesut addresses the critical role that is being played by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to promote better health and well-being, eliminate poverty, combat climate change and eradicate hunger, as a few examples.
