New York Organization for Nursing Leadership NYONL represents the voices of nursing leaders who are intent on shaping the future of nursing Fostering evidence based leadership and research.

The New York Organization of Nurse Executives and Leaders represents the integrated voice of nursing leaders who are intent on shaping the future of nursing and healthcare in the State, and is the New York affiliate of the American Organization of Nurse Executives. The mission is to promote excellence in nursing through transformational leadership with the vision of being recognized as a catalyst for collaborative and innovative nursing leadership in our State. The members are comprised of nurse leaders who represent health care organizations and related agencies and businesses, along with institutions of higher learning. The State is divided into six regional organizations that bring diverse opportunities and challenges to the membership to affect healthcare change. Because we believe that one of a leader’s responsibilities includes mentoring of aspiring leaders, the organization provides for student membership for those pursuing education for leadership roles. The organization's strategic initiatives include:
Acting as a resource for members and regions. Providing education and leadership development
Influencing public policy
Forging strategic alliances and partnerships. Encouraging Magnet® qualities in member agencies
Promoting education/practice partnerships. These initiatives are addressed by the Board of Directors, composed of leaders from all regions who are selected by their colleagues through an election process to represent them and their voice. To accomplish NYONEL goals, the Board collaborates with multiple nursing and health related organizations and/or coalitions as well as government agencies.

🗣️ We’re proud to share a powerful op-ed from Ann Harrington published in Empire Report NY, calling attention to the urgent need to address New York’s healthcare staffing crisis.

As highlighted in the piece, workforce shortages continue to strain access to care across the state, leading to delays, longer wait times, and increased pressure on frontline clinicians. The New York Organization for Nursing Leadership strongly supports common-sense solutions that expand care team capacity while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.
Governor Hochul’s proposed scope-of-practice reforms, such as enabling trained aides to administer medications and allowing medical assistants to give vaccines under supervision, represent practical steps to:
🔺Relieve administrative burden on nurses
🔺Improve patient access and timeliness of care
🔺Create career pathways and strengthen workforce retention

These reforms build on lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic and align New York with practices already adopted nationwide. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT! We urge policymakers to include these measures in the final budget and invest in a stronger, more flexible healthcare workforce.
