Join us for the presentation of two special books by Nurse Practitioners!

John Osborn will present on behalf of his mother, Mary Osborn, sharing insights from her second book:  Moving Mountains: Creating the Nurse Practitioner and Rural EMS.

Mary Osborn holds the distinction of being the first nurse practitioner in Idaho. Her pioneering work in Stanley, Idaho, not only shaped the role of nurse practitioners statewide but also influenced national discussions on training, scope of practice, prescriptive authority, and reimbursement. In addition to advancing the Nurse Practitioner profession, Mary collaborated with Idaho EMS to train hundreds of volunteer EMTs, playing a crucial role in establishing emergency medical services in rural communities.

MaryEllen Biggerstaff will present her newly published book, Radical Nurses: 28 Stories of Resistance, Reform, & Revolution. MaryEllen profiles both well-known and lesser-known historical figures who have made significant contributions to the nursing profession, shedding light on the radical changes and innovations that have shaped modern nursing. Emma Goldman, Walt Whitman and Louisa May Alcott along with Albertina Sisal and Susie Yellowtail, turning nursing into activism with compassion, courage and determination.
