Office of the National Nurse

There is a movement to establish an Office of the National Nurse. I think this would help to elevate nursing in the public's eyes. According to the organization promoting this position:

An Office of the National Nurse would:
Establish symbolic national leadership by elevating and strengthening the Chief Nurse Officer of the USPHS to make this position visible to the nursing profession and the public.
Compliment the work of the US Surgeon General.
Promote involvement in the Medical Reserve Corps to improve the health and safety of the community.
Incorporate proven evidence-based public health education when promoting prevention.
