---

​Janene Batten, EdD, MLS has been a trusted ally to nurses since becoming a medical librarian. Her expertise is connecting people and ideas to ensure the inclusion of diverse perspectives. She consults and collaborates with clinical nurses on pressing clinical issues and helps world-class clinical nurse researchers with their research. She also works with faculty and students, supporting best-in-class scientific research and teaching in graduate programs. Her research focuses on centering the voices of nurses, focusing on K-12 school nurses, which has led to meaningful collaborations with these community-based nurses for over 17 years. Janene is Secretary and a member of the Board of the Association of School Nurses of Connecticut. 

As a Board member, how can you contribute to the mission of CCNW which is to foster collaborations to ensure a highly educated, diverse, and sustainable nursing workforce to support the healthcare needs of CT residents? 

Working directly with the spectrum of nurses in Connecticut -- academic, clinical, and community -- I bring each cohort’s diverse perspective and, in turn, will promote and report on the work of CCNW.
