Partnership Initiatives  |  The Indiana Organization of Nurse Executives

The Indiana Organization of Nurse Executives is a not-for-profit association of Indiana Nurse Leaders headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Current membership is over 300 active members. All matters related to nursing and healthcare are of concern to IONE. Education and development of nursing leaders is one of the organization’s primary activities. It is nursing leadership which influences and sets the standard for the quality of nursing care.

IONE created the Nurses’ License Plate as a tribute to nursing in Indiana. All monies raised through plate sales are returned to Indiana in the form of recruitment of the nursing workforce and assisting others in making Indiana a place where a career in nursing brings fulfillment, respect, and growth.

The Nurses’ License Plate Program has positively impacted the nursing profession throughout Indiana. One Partnership Initiative has been to provide operational funding to the Indiana Nursing Workforce Development Center (INWDC). The purpose is to assist INWDC in conducting a statewide survey to quantify faculty shortages, nursing student enrollments, and graduations. The data provides a perspective in meeting the needs for nursing in Indiana and identifies the barriers to meeting those needs.
