An interview with one of the current leaders for NurseTRUST tells the story of a newly formed organization to advance nursing leadership to address population health. The vision has always been to prepare nurse leaders for advanced positions in senior leadership roles in healthcare. The RWJ-Nurse Executive Fellowship created national leaders to influence population health. The postprogram Fellows are leveraging this design for the next generation of leaders through the NurseTRUST organization. The network of trusted colleagues can address emerging issues with their national colleagues who are leaders in their field while mentoring the next generation of nurse leaders.

Application of nursing theory in daily life by applying elements of Parse's paradigm allowed for a more expansive view of the dressage experience by focusing on the paradox of visible-invisible in the unique rhythmic-patterns of the horse-rider team. The study of classical nursing theory has diminished in a similar pattern as classical dressage. The importance of studying the classics in any field is emphasized along with concerns about the future of nursing and healthcare.
