The Nurse Emeritus Group:

• Seeks to recognize and value the expertise of retired VA nurses through projects that support the working VA nurses and the Veterans they serve.

• Strives to acknowledge and celebrate the contribution of retired VA nurses through positive affirmation programs and projects.
