Vision Statements
Education	All nursing faculty have the knowledge, skills, compassion, and support to educate the next generation of nurses about SGM health and health care.
	Nursing faculty with expertise in clinical practice, education and/or scholarship serve as champions of SGM health and health care.
	Nursing faculty act as advocates and guardians in the promotion of human dignity and as leaders in the care of diverse SGM population groups. They educate nurses who are competent and inspired to care for SGM people, having learned about sexual orientation and gender identity through a humanistic approach. AACN essentials document and nursing curriculum incorporate affirming, inclusive and dynamic SGM content using an intersectional lens and frameworks that situate health disparities within the larger socio-cultural context rather than within individuals.
	Nursing schools provide a culture in which all nursing students and faculty feel safe to be their authentic selves.
Research	Nurses are leaders in the generation of new knowledge about SGM health and wellbeing and translate that knowledge to inform education, practice, and policy.
	SGM health is a research priority, including at NIH/NINR; SGM measures are included in all nursing research, and SGM nursing research is a key component of interdisciplinary SGM research.
Nursing Practice	All nurses provide affirming, equitable, safe, and quality care to SGM people and their families.
	Nurses are leaders in interprofessional health care teams learning to provide high-quality person-centered care to diverse SGM population groups.
