The Greater Boston Nursing Collective (GBNC) exists to promote health and well-being in the Greater Boston area and influence the same nationally. It is an inclusive forum for nurses to work together as a community to identify, plan, fund, research and disseminate strategic initiatives designed to advance the science and practice of integrative nursing. These initiatives and the work of the GBNC will be guided by agreed upon principles, prioritizing healing environment and relationship-based care initiatives.
